Infectious personalitiesby Aether SparkChaptersThe startPinkie times sixBein awesome for a dayGettin some honest work doneRefined and classyA nice change of paceBeing smart about this [+ a surprise]Spike's fun day [+another surprise]The startPinkie Pie, Ponyville's premire party pony was pronking pass ponies. “Nice one!” Pinkie complimented as she hopped passed a group of ponies and she waved as they waved at her. She made her way down to the castle with the ponies she cared about most in the whole wide world with a plan to get the tensions to stop. “I can tell you are all a bit confused about where the author and I are going with this, so let this flashback show you all,” Pinkie said before grabbing the top of the screen and pulling down another scene. Pinkie trotted through town up to Sugarcube Corner to see her friends, they had a planned gathering today after all. Pinkie entered and shouted “HELLLOOOOO PONIES!” Pinkie cheered. Before a pie hit her in the face knocking her down, after licking the pie cream off of her face Pinkie looked to see a troubling situation. “Not the mane!” Rarity said firmly as Rainbow was throwing pies around. “Then apologize for calling me… what was it again?” Rainbow paused. “Uncouth and unladylike” Rarity clarified. “Yeah, that!” Rainbow said throwing more pies. “I swear if you get one piece of pie in my mane you’ll suffer for it!” Rarity cried diving behind cover as a hail of creamy dessert fell. Meanwhile Applejack and Twilight were arguing. “I wasn’t saying you don’t know how to take care of your animals, I’m just saying proper calculations can save you a fortune on feed distributions, I’ve seen you dump whole sacks of food into their troughs,” Twilight said. “An ah said ah don’t need yer fancy calculations to know how ta take care of mah animals,” AJ said. And as for Fluttershy, she and Angel were hiding behind a table. “Girls, please stop fighting!” Fluttershy said and Pinkie popped up next to her. “What’s going on?” Pinkie asked ducking a thrown pie. “All I did was suggest some conversation topics and then they began disagreeing and then… this!” Fluttershy said. And meanwhile, Mr and Mrs Cake were hiding behind the counter. “Oh sweet cinnamon sticks Pinkie, your here, you gotta do something,” Mrs Cake said. “I’m on it,” Pinkie said and she pulled out a pair of air horns and blared them making everypony cover their ears. “Huh?” They all looked at Pinkie. “Enough girls, what’s going on here?” Pinkie asked. “Well Rares here needs to apologize for saying I wouldn’t know high society mare behavior if it bit me in the flank,” Rainbow said. “I have never seen you act like a proper mare, it is always sports this and action comics that, and your extreme reaction is proof there isn’t a fancy bone in your body,” Rarity said. “You take that back, I don’t need to be fancy-schmancy like you, I got my style,” RD said. “Well ah’m tellin Twi here ah don’t need her calculations to improve anythin, the Apple Family has traditions we have ways of providing fer our livestock,” AJ said. “And I was just suggesting that maybe you could do it with better results to your production,” Twilight said. “That ain’t your concern,” AJ said. “Stop it, girls!” Pinkie said “We’re friends, and sure we’re having one of those rough patches but we don’t need to be at eachothers throats over such minor things,” Pinkie said. “Well, till Rares realizes she’s wrong, I’m going to go read some comics,” Rainbow said walking off. “Fine, I have more important things to do,” Rarity said doing the same. “And ah’m going to go do mah own distribution, mah way,” Applejack said trotting out. “Have it your way,” Twilight humphed and walked away. “Girls! Don’t leave being mad at eachother, girls?” Pinkie said with a deflated mane. “I-I better go too, have a good day Pinkie,” Fluttershy said leaving with her rabbit companion. “Oh… what do I do?” Pinkie asked. “We’ll have to close for the day, so why not see how you can get your friends to stop arguing,” Mr Cake said. “Ok,” Pinkie said. Pinkie was sitting on a bench wondering what to do. “Rainbow is mad Rarity thinks she couldn’t be refined if she tried and Rarity thinks Rainbow is unlady-like, and Applejack and Twilight can’t agree on how the other thinks that they should do their work if only there was a way to help them-” Pinkie said before her Pinkie Sense tingled and she turned to see Zecora nearby. “Of course,” Pinkie bounced up to Zecora. “Hmm?” Zecora said turning to see Pinkie approaching. “Zecora! I need your help!” Pinkie said. “Ah Pinkie Pie, what a joy to see you, that is no lie,” Zecora said in her usual rhymes. “Nice to see you Zecora, I need help,” Pinkie said. “Come,” Zecora said leading Pinkie to where she was going. Pinkie followed her to her hut and they sat down around a cauldron. “I was simply making a brew, what can I do for you?” Zecora said. “My friends are fighting over their differences, I’m worried that this will hurt our friendship in the long run, do you have anything that can help?” Pinkie asked. “Hmm… yes, I do have something, courtesy of a Changling,” Zecora said before making her way over to a shelf and gathering some ingredients “What is the method you desire, to rekindle friends fire?” Zecora asked. “I want us all to see things from each other’s perspective,” Pinkie said. “Then I have just the thing, made from a shed exoskeleton of a ling,” Zecora said before putting the ingredients in the brew and stirring it. After some more ingredients and stirring Zecora produced a glowing green vial. “Open this vial when the time is nigh, and may your hopes of friendship fly,” Zecora said. “Thanks Zecora!” Pinkie said before taking the vial and bouncing out of the hut. “Hehehe, this will be interesting,” Zecora chuckled. “And resume,” Pinkie said before entering the castle “Hope you all enjoyed that little rerun,” Pinkie said before approaching the room that her friends were in. Unsurprisingly they were distracting themselves through various means rather than talk to each other. “Hey, friends!” Pinkie said approaching them as they gave noncommital answers “You can’t all still be arguing?” “Pinkie, we’re still fresh off an argument, and suddenly you called us all here on an emergency, so what is it?” Twilight asked. “We’re the emergency,” Pinkie said. “What?” Rainbow asked. “We’re all arguing because none of us can understand what the other is going through, well that can be fixed with this!” Pinkie produced the vial of green liquid. “...What is that?” Rarity asked. “Zecora said it would help us see things from each other's perspective,” Pinkie said. “Do you even know what it does?” Twilight nervously said. “Nope!” Pinkie said. “We should find out before-” “Nope! We’re going to understand each other better after this, doctors guarantee,” Pinkie said before trotting forward. “Pinkie it’s safer to find out what it does before anything!” Twilight tried to stop her but Pinkie opened the vial and a green mist came out of it. “What the ha-” Applejack tried to exclaim before an explosion ripped through the room. After waking up the group saw that thankfully nothing was too damaged. “Ugh… Pinkie!” Rarity said getting up. “What the hay Pinks?” RD said getting up. “I didn’t think it would explode,” Pinkie said. “That’s why you find out more about a potion before using it!” Twilight complained. Fluttershy approached from the other side of the couch. “Is everypony alright?” Fluttershy asked. “Ah ah’m,” Applejack said approaching. “...Well? Is everypony feeling more intuned?” Pinkie asked. “....Ah don’t feel any different,” AJ said. “Are you sure?” Pinkie asked. “Yeah,” AJ said plainly. “I don’t get it, it was supposed to work,” Pinkie complained. “Pinkie maybe we should be glad nothing happened, who knows what could have happened to us because you weren’t being careful,” Twilight said. “I guess your right…” Pinkie said sadly. “...Look, let’s just go home and we can have a talk tomorrow, it’s getting late anyways,” Twilight offered. “Ok…” Pinkie said and the group made to leave. “And if any of you feel any adverse effects please visit the hospital first, just in case,” Twilight called after them. Each of the mares went home that night oddly tired, and when they went to sleep… they all had dreams of… Balloons? Cake? And partying? Little did they know what tomorrow would bring… Author's Note Bit of a weak start but trust me, things will pick up in the next chapter. Pinkie times sixRarity woke with a jaw-cracking yawn. “Ahh, what a strange sleep that was… it makes me feel… weird,” Rarity shrugged and hopped to the bathroom…? “Hmm?” Rarity noticed that she was hopping and she stopped “Odd… why was I doing that?” Rarity said before trotting into the bathroom “Be calm Rarity, you are probably still just tired, now remember that- AAAH!” Rarity said noticing what a mess her mane was and she hurriedly applied some hairspray and gel to smooth it down. “I’ve had bedhead before but never that badly,” Rarity said… before her mane poofed out again “No!” Rarity shouted when she saw this and she repeated the process and flattened out her mane again… only for it to poof out again, deciding drastic measures needed to be taken she got out several colorful scrunchies and she put her mane in a ponytail. “Hah, good one author… wait… who was I just talking to… ok, Rarity stop acting like this! You are an elegant mare and you aren’t to let whatever is happening take you over,” Rarity said… before she jumped into the tub and she was suddenly downstairs in the closet. “Huh?!” Rarity exclaimed before exiting and looking around and when she looked to the kitchen she saw Sweetie making pancakes. “Hmm? Oh! Hey Rarity, I didn’t hear you come downstairs, I was hoping to surprise you,” Sweetie said before seeing the unnerved expression on Rarity's face “Is everything alright?” Sweetie said bringing the burnt pancakes to the table. “I-I’ve been having the strangest morning…” Rarity said before trotting to her seat and staring nervously down at the pancakes. “Is everything alright?” Sweetie asked. “I… feel as though these pancakes… can… be…. SPLENDORIFFIC!” Rarity suddenly cheered before hopping off the chair and in front of the stove before she rapidly made non-burnt pancakes in three seconds, put a ton of toppings on it, and got back in her seat all in the time it took Sweetie to process the events listed before. “Whoa! How did you-” Sweetie said. “I-I have no idea! Sweetie, something is wrong I-...I…I…” Rarity suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head and she cried out and fell to the ground. “Rarity!” Sweetie cried running over to her as she rolled around on the ground and held her head. “Rarity, do I need to get you to the hospital?” Sweetie said. “I… feel… I…. feel….. IIII feeeeeeellll…..” Rarity groaned before the scrunchies broke and her mane began curling into a poofy mass of a mane and her cutie mark suddenly became balloons. “Huh?” Sweetie backed away as Rarty transformed. “I… I….FEEL…..LIKE A PARTY IS IN ORDER!” Rarity popped to her hooves and spread her arms laughing. “Rarity, your sick, you need help,” Sweetie shivered. “On the contrary Sweetie! I feel elation, and cheerfulness, I simply must share this with everypony! Today I am Rarity, the party planner!” Rarity said before eating her pancakes in one bite and darting out the door. “....Wow…” Sweetie said. Rarity bounced through Ponyville with a playful hum and she waved to the other ponies who could only stare in confusion as to why Rarity of all ponies was acting like Pinkie. Suddenly Rarity’s mane bounced and she turned to see another figure bouncing towards her. “Rarie!” Twilight cheered and she bounced over to her friend and hugged her. “Twilight! I am ever so elated to see you,” Rarity said before pulling away and looking Twilight over, she looked like a Twilight version of Pinkie! “You’ve become like Pinkie as well?” Rarity asked. “I woke up today feeling like partying and eating sugary sweets until I passed out, and then suddenly I became Twilight the party pony!” Twilight cheered. “Me too, I don’t know how to describe it but I feel jubilated, I simply must find the others,” Rarity said. “I agree, let’s go!” Twilight giggled and they locked forelegs and skipped into the distance. They arrived at the castle but their Pinkie Sense warned them and they opened the doors and got sprayed with multiple party cannons. Instead of their usual exasperation, they laughed. “Hiya!” RD cheered, her mane all curly and poofy as well. “Hey glad ya can make it!” Applejack said excitedly her mane was curly as well. “LET’S PAAARRTY!” Fluttershy yelled at an unusual volume for her. “Hold it fellow Pinkified ponies,” Twilight said drawing their attention “This party won’t be complete without the O.G,” Twilight said. “Ah yes! Pinkie Pie!” Rainbow said. “Maybe she can explain what happened to us?” Fluttershy said. “Ain’t it obvious, it’s the potion, made us all like Pinkie Pie,” Applejack said. “Well, let’s get the party ready,” Twilight said mischievously. Pinkie woke with a start, she looked around and stood up. “I’m… sensing something…” Pinkie glanced around before her mane and tail bounced. It was warning her there was a party somewhere and she wasn’t personally invited! “Not on my watch!” Pinkie said before trotting towards the door and grabbing Gummy and putting him on her back before going downstairs. As she went through Sugarcube Corner Mr Cake was already setting things up, he was in the middle of lifting a series of cakes. “Oh, hey Pinkie, can you help me with-” Mr Cake asked before Pinkie cut him off. “No time Mr Cake, I need to correct an injustice!” Pinkie said. “And… that is?” Mr Cake wobbled. “A party without me!” Pinkie said before bouncing out of the building. “B-but Pinkie I need help!” Mr Cake said before he slipped and fell over. Pinkie trotted up to the castle where disco lights were shining through the window and loud music was playing. “I sense it, this is where the party is, have a party without me, what’s going on?” Pinkie said before noticing a cupcake on the ground. “Huh? OOOH Strawberry cupcake!” Pinkie ate it and then saw another. “Yummy!” Pinkie ate that one and then the next one until she made it to the door and she turned to see the door there was a sign on the door. “Hmm… Turn around for a surprise… Hah! Nice try! I won’t fall for-” Pinkie was suddenly scooped up by hooves from above her and she got pulled up “EEEP!” Pinkie yelped and she suddenly found herself amid a sort of mega party. A buffet, a bounce house, a pool was somehow put in the room, and a clown and a… too much to describe! “WOWIE! Now this is a party! But who else but me could make it?” Pinkie asked. “Why you of course silly!” A voice that sounded like Rarity said and Pinkie turned to see her friends… only they all had curly manes and balloon cutie marks. “Girls?” Pinkie asked. “Yeppers!” Rainbow Dash giggled. “We’re all like you now!” Twilight bounced up to Pinkie. “Wow! So the potion worked?” Pinkie asked. “Looks like it, now we’re thinking like you,” Fluttershy said. “Then there’s only thing to do now then…” Pinkie said. “PARTY!” They all cheered, and the next few hours were spent by all the cheerful ponies having a blast, they all went bouncing in the bounce house and doing cartwheels and pranking eachother. Pinkie and the others eventually took a break and sat down. “Whoo, ah didn’t think ah could feel this kind of way,” AJ said. “Like what?” RD asked. “Happy all the time, wanting ta party fer hours, energetic, ah feel like a new mare,” AJ said with a goofy smile. “But the party ain’t over till we dead!” Rainbow said with a smirk. “Then let’s get partying some more!” Applejack said. As the party picked back up, Pinkie and Fluttershy were sent out to get more partygoers and the party lasted well throughout the day. The door opened and Mr Cake snuck in. “Hey, excuse me,” Mr Cake approached a random stallion who turned to him. “Yeah?” The stallion asked. “Do you know where Pinkie Pie is? The line at Sugarcube Corner is too long for me to deal with alone,” Mr Cake said. “I have no idea, I literally got abducted off the streets and into this party by a crazy yellow mare,” The stallion said. “Yellow?... like Fluttershy?” Mr Cake asked before trotting on and eventually, he saw the said yellow and pink mare on a raised platform… dancing? “Huh?” Mr. Cake said seeing Fluttershy breakdancing… in a way he’s only seen Pinkie do… “Mrs Fluttershy!” Mr Cake called and she turned to him with a curly mane similar to Pinkie’s. “Hiya Mr Cake!” She cheered, he’d never seen her so excitable. “Um… what’s going on here?” Mr Cake asked. “Only the awesomest most splendoriffic party ever! Wanna Cherrychanga?” Fluttershy pulled on out of her mane. “No… thank you… look is Twilight nearby?” Mr Cake asked. “She’s right there,” Fluttershy pointed. ‘Thank goodness,” Mr Cake turned to see Twilight only inches from his face… “AHH! Geeze,” Mr Cake said. “Hiya! Wanna party? My favorite song of all time is coming on!” Twilight said. “Are you alright princess?” Mr Cake asked. “I’m awesome!” She said. “Your all acting like Pinkie Pie,” Mr Cake said. “Yeppers! All thanks to a potion Pinkie gave us!” Twilight said. “What?” Mr Cake asked. “From Zecora!” Twilight said. “....I need to get answers,” Mr Cake said. Mr Cake wandered through the woods and found Zecora’s hut, as creepy as usual. “Oook, maybe she knows what’s going on,” Mr Cake said. He knocked on the door a few times and Zecora answered. “Hello Purveyor of cake, I am glad you came for Pinkie’s sake,” Zecora said. “How did-” “I could hear you,” Zecora said. “Oh… I need to know why the princess and the other elements of harmony are all acting like Pinkie,” Mr Cake asked. “Ah it is taking effect sooner than I first expected, looks like my efforts are worthy of being respected,” Zecora chuckled. “How do you tie into this?” Mr Cake said. “I simply gave them the potion of imitation, to those affected its effects have no limitation, each day they will all act like eachother for a week, at the end I predict their friendship problems will become weak,” Zecora said. This is going to happen for a whole week? But I need Pinkie to be her usual upbeat self!” Mr Cake exclaimed. “It is in their hooves you who employs, now if you’ll excuse me, I have a bath to enjoy,” Zecora then closed the door. “Oh dear…” Mr Cake said. He made his way to the Castle again and saw that the party had thankfully died down. As he entered he saw the place was somehow clean again and saw the six Pinkies. “Pinkie Pie!” Mr Cake called and Pinkie zoomed up to him. “Yes chief?” Pinkie asked. “Any reason you’ve missed a whole day of work and turned the princess and her friends into…” Mr Cake had to duck Fluttershy who flew overhead. “Sorry bossman!” Fluttershy said with a giggle. “That,” Mr Cake asked looking a little upset. “I… didn’t think it would happen like that,” Pinkie said as the others gathered. “Well regardless, now they're stuck emulating eachother for the next five days,” Mr Cake said. “Five days?” AJ said with a deflating mane. “Oh dear,” Fluttershy said. “But Mr Cake, this could help fix things between them,” Pinkie asked. “I get that, but it could be dangerous,” Mr Cake said. “Well it’s too late to change that now, so let’s get moving, ready girls?” Pinkie asked. “Bring it!” Rainbow Dash said. “Let’s get baking!” AJ said, her mane reinflating and they all darted past Mr Cake. “...Oh please don’t let this end badly,” Mr Cake said before following them. The long line at Sugarcube Corner versus six Pinkie Pies. “Bring it on!” Pinkie said bouncing along with her friends and they entered the building. Mrs Cake looked overworked and trying to keep up when she saw the elements. “Oh thank Celestia, Pinkie… and everypony else?” Mrs Cake asked. “Don’t ask, just take a break, we got this!” Pinkie said and Mrs Cake nodded before the six jumped behind the counter. “What’ll you have?” Pinkie asked a stallion. “A cinnamon roll,” The stallion said. “On it!” Pinkie said and Applejack got that to Pinkie in seconds. “GG!” Pinkie said before giving the stallion the food and collecting the money. “Next!” Pinkie called. “I want a-” The mare was about to ask for a double layer chocolate cake but Rainbow had delivered it and Pinkie extended her hoof for bits. “Whoa…” the mare said even seeing the words she wanted written on it were there. “Five bits,” Pinkie said. “Ok,” The mare gave the money and took the cake, the next customer made his order. “Fifteen Cherry Changas!” Pinkie yelled. In the kitchen “Fifteen Cherry Changa’s on the triple!” Twilight shouted to her friend. “On it!” Fluttershy said flying through the room and gathering the ingredients and before depositing them on the counter. AJ bucked a counter to get some flour to pour into a bucket. RD was rapidly kneading the dough. Rarity was using her skills to decorate the Changas and float them into the oven. They somehow cooked fast and she brought them out before hoofing them to Twilight via magic. “Changa’s ready!” Twilight delivered the changa’s And the weirdest part… this was all done in ten seconds… “Holy, we’ve never worked this fast before,” Mrs Cake exclaimed. “I agree, but I guess six Pinkies work faster than one,” Mr Cake chuckled. “I need a coffee…” Mrs Cake said. By nighttime, the rush was over and Mr and Mrs Cake entered the kitchen to see the six asleep, they also seemed to have returned to normal. “For now at least…” Mr Cake said to himself before they nodded to one another and grabbed the mares before bringing them to Pinkie's room. “Let’s be ready for tomorrow…” Mr Cake said before they went back downstairs. And Gummy turned off the lights. Author's Note And the official good part of the story begins! We're starting with Pinkie, when I check back I will see who we do tomorrow. Make your vote on the element you want to see everypony become the next day. Bein awesome for a dayFluttershy was the first to wake up the following morning. “Ooooh… my body is sore…” Fluttershy said as she got up and trotted down the hallway and she entered the bathroom and splashed water on her face. The others were still asleep but they began to grunt and groan as they felt changes to their bodies and minds were occurring. Their manes became jagged, and their cutie marks became rainbow lightning bolts. Fluttershy groaned as she looked in the mirror and saw how tired she was, but there was also the fact that she was hurting all over, including in her mind. “Ooooh…. My head… is… it happening again?... who am I becoming?!” Fluttershy demanded as she felt new images entering her head… Images of sports, of flying fast, of being awesome and loyal to her friends. “R-Rainbow?... Do it!…. I want to be… like her!” Fluttershy cried out falling against the counter and she looked in the mirror and her eyes became rose-colored briefly before her mane suddenly rearranged itself to be jagged and messy and her cutie mark became a rainbow lightning bolt. With a final yell, her mind changed and she fell to the ground. After a few seconds, she stood tall and proud and looked at the mirror with a proud grin. “Brave like Rainbow, a dream come true,” Fluttershy cockily said before sneaking back to the room and she unhesitatingly grabbed a megaphone off the shelf and she yelled into it. “Wakey wakey!” Fluttershy called into the megaphone making the sleeping ponies jump into the air with a startled yelp. Cept Pinkie who just grunted. “Five more minutes mom…” Pinkie grumbled. “The hay was that for?” Applejack demanded. “Yeah, totally not cool,” Rarity said. “Nearly gave me a heart attack…” Twilight said looking miffed. “Whoa…” Rainbow looked around at her disgruntled fellow element bearers, who were talking and acting like her. “Hey, we got a day full of activity and I’m not going to let you all laze the day away,” Fluttershy casually said with an arrogant smirk. “Even Shy is acting like me… which reminds me,” Rainbow said getting an idea and she turned to Rarity “So Rares, how’s it feel to be on the receiving end of your own words? Huh?” Rainbow snarked. “Oh do shut up! I am still Rarity and I will show you I can still be refined even if I have the desire to soar through the air at mane-ruining speeds,” Rarity said. “Small problem,” RD said pointing at her back, she glanced back and frowned. “I have a feeling as though I have been crippled even though I never had wings to begin with,” Rarity huffed. “Psh, I got this,” Twilight said before flashing her horn, and suddenly everypony who didn’t have wings had butterfly wings. “Oh no, ah’m too cool fer butterfly wings, give me pegasus wings,” AJ demanded. “I can’t, you think I can just make a pegasus out of thin air?” Twilight barked back. Suddenly their stomachs rumbled and they nodded to each other before heading downstairs first. The group got downstairs and Mr Cake was cleaning the soda machine, when he saw them he dropped his rag. "Whoa," Mr Cake said. "Yep, we're Rainbow today, speaking of which, root beer float," Rainbow said. "Me too!" Pinkie said. "I would like one as well," Rarity said . "Me too!" Fluttershy added in. "Ah'll have three," AJ said competitively. "Me too!" Twilight said. "....Um... make that six," Rainbow said. Pretty soon they were all enjoying root beer floats and chatting about Wonderbolts and flying exercises. Afterwards they all made their way outside. "Um, don't cause too much trouble," Mr Cake called. "No promises!" The six yelled in unison and then they started laughing. "Oh dear..." Mr Cake sighed. "I think I know my exercise routine better than you," RD said. "Ah'm just like you right now," AJ bit back. “Everypony quiet!” Pinkie said “Why waste our day as Rainbow arguing? Let’s fly!” Pinkie said “Race ya!” AJ said jumping into the air and the others followed. As they flew away from Sugarcube Corner ponies saw the multiple Rainbow Dash’s and saw them take off. “Hey AJ! How’s last place sound?” Rainbow taunted as Applejack fell behind. “Consarnit! How the hay am ah supposed to win a race with wimpy butterfly wings?!” AJ said. “Shame we won’t have an actual air race,” Fluttershy taunted as she did several loops. “Hey, Shy? Wanna race?” RD asked. “Hay yeah!” Fluttershy said, excited to finally have the will to say yes. “I’m coming too!” Twilight said. “Sorry guys, guess you’ll have to be spectators,” Rainbow waved back at her slower friends as the three flew for the nearest cloud. “Ponyfeathers…” Rarity grumped. “Doesn’t mean we can’t have our own,” AJ said before flying to ground level. “Alright!” Pinkie said flying down there as well. “Sounds good,” Rarity smirked competitively. “One three, first one to the farm wins!” AJ said. “You're on!” Pinkie said. “On three then?” Rarity said smirking mischievously. “Alright…” AJ said. …. “THREE!” All three of them bolted at the same time. “Ah forgot we’re thinkin alike right now,” AJ grunted as she ran. “Great minds think alike then!” Rarity was already panting. “Getting winded Rares?” Pinkie asked. “No!” Rarity said. “Too bad, see ya!” Pinkie suddenly blazed away from the two. “Huh?! When did she get that fast?” AJ asked. “She did once almost catch Rainbow Dash,” Rarity sighed, once they made it to the barn Pinkie was already there drinking a cider. “What took ya?” She asked smugly. Rarity huffed and fell on the ground panting “I suppose… Rainbow has a point that one must be more inclined to exercise… to race like that…” Rarity panted. “Alright, wonder how the others are doin?” AJ asked. “THREE!” Rainbow, Fluttershy and Twilight took off on their race and they blazed past the market and caused multiple things to be knocked over. “Woohoo! Nice!” Rainbow cheered. “Psh, I have this, ten seconds I bet!” Fluttershy said keeping up. “Curses!” Twilight said as she lagged. “This is why you exercise egghead!” Fluttershy yelled back at her with a smile. “I hardly ever see you exercise!” Twilight bit back. “Um hello, your talking to the animal caretaker,” Fluttershy said before darting forward. “Nice try! But I’m the O.G!” Rainbow said before she sped up and used the Rainboom and she shot ahead. “No fair!” Fluttershy said trying to copy but she lacked the ability. “Totally fair!” Rainbow called back before she reached the cloud they were racing to first. “Alright!” Rainbow cheered and the others arrived. “No fair!” Fluttershy crossed her arms. “Jelly?” RD said. “HEY GUYS!” Pinkie cheered and they saw their other friends down there and they flew down there. “Who wants to play hoofball, I found a good field, just outside of town.” Pinkie challenged. “Oh your so on,” The Rainbow personalities said. It showed the group playing a rousing game, together. “TAKE THIS!” Fluttershy cheered as she bucked the ball to the other side. “Physically weak I may be but I won’t lose!” Rarity said as she deflected the shot. “Ah’m comin in!” AJ said running for the ball. “Your dealing with the best!” RD said as she flew up and bucked the ball. “New best in town!” Twilight said knocking it away with her magic. “Not on my watch!” Pinkie suddenly popped out of the nearby trees and she knocked the ball away. The six laughed and played for the rest of the day, afterwards they made for the barn. “AJ? Is everything alright?” Big Mac asked as he entered and he was surprised to see the six playing cards and drinking lots of hard cider. “...Ah suppose ah can look the other way this time,” Big Mac sighed before leaving. “King me!” Pinkie cheered as she won a hand. “Pinkie that’s checkers,” Twilight sighed. “Oh yeah,” Pinkie said before they played another game, at the end she showed her ace of fives. “Go fish!” Pinkie said. “Wrong game again!” Fluttershy said. “Oh… ok,” Pinkie said. “I got a better one,” AJ showing her ace of sixes. “Oh poo,” Pinkie said. “The next game they were making bigger bets and when Twilight revealed her hand expecting victory Pinkie then showed her royal flush “Gutter ball!” Pinkie cheered. “PINKIE!” The group went on to play other games together, after a day of playing they were sitting in Twilight’s castle, reading Daring Do together. “This was an awesome day, it was like having five sisters who happen to share my interests,” Rainbow sighed happily. “It felt nice to be brave like you Rainbow,” Fluttershy said before laughing at a funny part in her book. “I think it was fun to get some activity,” Twilight said. “Well I think it was fun to get to play hoofball together,” Pinkie said. “And… I do admit perhaps I could stand to get some more exercise than usual,” Rarity said. “Hah!” Rainbow said. “Don’t push it,” Rarity said firmly. “Well, I can only wonder what tomorrow will bring,” Twilight said. “More awesome adventur-” Fluttershy said before the clock under Owlicious struck twelve and they all stiffened and dropped their books before passing out. And their manes and cutie marks became normal again… for now. Meanwhile, a door opened and Spike came in. “Twilight, I’m back- huh?” Spike noticed the six sleeping mares and he decided to head upstairs quietly for now. Author's Note I can't wait which one you guys choose next. Gettin some honest work doneThe group began to wake up as the sun came in through the windows. “Oooh… my limbs…” Rarity groaned. “Well, it’s tomorrow… so whose next?” Rainbow asked. “Ah think I know,” Pinkie said feeling jittery. “Huh?” Everypony saw her vibrating and she shot into the air and crashed to ground level and an explosion occurred. “Pinkie?!” Twilight exclaimed. “Ah’m not Pinkie anymore… ah’m Pinkie Pie the apple farmer!” Pinkie said as the dust cleared and they saw Pinkie outfitted like Applejack. “Heh, guess you all are goin ta get a day in the dirt an fields today,” Applejack eagerly looked on as the other began to feel it. “No! NO! I am exhausted and a refined mare! I will… not… succumb… ta thi…s…” Rarity tried to fight it but her mane rearranged itself into AJ’s mane-cut and her cutie mark became apples “NO!” Rarity collapsed… and stood up again now looking more like a white and purple version of Applejack. “Ah feel…. Like ah’m ready fer some yard work…” Rarity admitted defeat. “Well girls… Hope yer ready,” Applejack said. After everypony was changed they trotted out of the castle, looking like differently colored Applejacks, Mr Cake was walking outside to check on Pinkie and he saw the six AJ's trotting towards the barn. "What in the cinnamon swirl?" Mr Cake said as he made his way to them and stopped them. "So your Applejack's today?" Mr Cake asked. "Can at least one of you stay behind and help out at Sugarcube Corner? We're not busy, but Pinkie always helped during rushes," Mr Cake said. "Sorry but we've got farm work to do, please understand," AJ said. "I guess..." Mr Cake said before returning to his work. "Alright AJ army! Onwards!" Pinkie exclaimed. As they made their way across town and into Sweet Apple Acres they passed by a bewildered Caramel. “What the?” Carmel exclaimed. “Nothin ta see here,” Twilight said. “Uh… sure,” Caramel said taking his leave. As the six AJ’s made their way into the farm they entered the farmhouse and saw Granny Smith, Big Mac and Apple Bloom who looked surprised. “Well, guess our turn came sooner than expected,” Granny said. “Ya’ll knew?” RD asked. “Course, AJ told us,” Apple Bloom said before running up to them “So… does this mean I have six sisters now?” Apple Bloom asked. “Just for the day,” Applejack said. “Woohoo!” AB cheered and then Granny approached. “Ah hope this means we’ll have lots of helpers on tha farm t’day,” Granny Smith said. “Yes Granny,” The six mares said in unison. “That was a tad freaky,” AB admitted. “Ah need help with this tractor,” Pinkie said, trying to start it. “Ah got it,” Rarity said as she walked behind it, bucked it, and the tractor started up. “Thanks!” Pinkie said and she drove off. “Meanwhile AJ and RD and Twilight were bucking the tree’s, usually Twilight would use her magic, but now that she’s AJ that seems improper. “Ah admit, it’s nice ta have some help,” AJ said. “Eeyup,” Big Mac said. As he pulled the cart along and Fluttershy was hovering over it and casting aside any bad apples. “Eenope… eenope…. Eenope….. Eeyup!” Fluttershy said liking being AJ. “All at once now!” AJ said and they all simultaneously bucked Big Johnny, the toughest and most plentiful tree in the orchard and all the apple’s fell like rain. “Yeehaw! Ain’t never got that many in from Johnny at once,” AJ cheered. “Yeehaw!” The others cheered as well and they helped gather the apples as well. “An…three!” AJ and her friends ran across the obstacle course together, because they all had Applejack mentality, they knew the course too but obviously Rarity and Twilight lagged behind. “Con…sarnit…” Rarity gasped rolling onto her back panting “New plan fer me… exercise….” Rarity panted. “Me too…” Twilight said. “Hah!” Fluttershy jumped over a haybale. “Woot!” Pinkie slid under a plank. “Not gonna cheat are ya Rainbow?” AJ panted as she ran. “Ah’m you, you tell me?” RD said. “Correct,” AJ smirked and they made it around the course and to their surprise Fluttershy won. “YEEHAW! How do ya like them apples?” Fluttershy said. “When… did ya get so fast?” Applejack asked tiredly. “In all honesty, ah let ya’ll win in the past, since ah’m nice,” Fluttershy smirked. “Oh yer on fer round two!” Pinkie said. AJ and Pinkie did an examination from where they were standing. “To tha left… too far… now go down… up a bit… a smidgen more,” AJ said. “Almost there!” Pinkie said. “How’s this?” Rainbow asked. “Ah getcha,” Fluttershy said as she adjusted her side. “Alright perfect!” Pinkie and Applejack said at the same time. And the other two joined them along with Rarity and Twilight. A new and improved sign for, Sweet Apple Acres. “Been meaning ta get that sign changed, just never had the time,” AJ said happily. “Well, we still got some animals ta feed,” Fluttershy offered. “Go right ahead, Rainbow, wanna come with and help me retrieve the celebration refreshments?” AJ said. “Hay yeah!” Rainbow said and they trotted off to the barn along with Fluttershy. A full day of chores and physical activity and the six were lounging and enjoying the night sky and some hard ciders. “Hoowee! This might be the first time we’ve gotten the barn raised in a long time, all the chores done all the animals cared for, even Big Mac is enjoyin some time to himself,” AJ said. “Well it comes down ta havin help as good as ya,” Twilight said. “Yeah, and we all had fun, right Rares?....Rares?” Pinkie looked to see Rarity looking all limp and exhausted. “Ah’m… not used to this…. Much physical…. Activity….” Rarity wheezed, looking like she was struggling to lift her glass of hard cider. “Hahaha, guess you should work out more often Rares,” RD chuckled. "Shut up..." Rarity sighed. “Well, ah guess we should turn in… Tomorrow another day, ah wanna say thanks again girls, ah really feel closer to ya,” AJ said. “No problem AJ,” They all said in unison. They all made their way into AJ’s bedroom, well all but Rarity who had to be carried in. “Well! Let’s get nappin, sure wish ah had you guys as me fer awhile longer,” AJ said. “Maybe another day,” RD said. “Alright,” AJ said as she got out the sleeping bags and they all went to sleep, to await their next adventure. Author's Note AJ's gotten all of her chores done and Rarity is not pleased she had to come along. XD Remaining ones: Refined and classyApplejack was the first up, not surprising since she’s used to waking up early, she figured she could get ready before the next shift. As she made her way down the hall she felt the beginning tingles of the change. “Already? How come ah… have to endure such an uncomfortable sensation…. Every day? Oh dear… am I…ah turnin into Rares!?” Applejack ran into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. She saw her dirt-matted appearance and began to think of herself as unclean… so unrefined. “Ah dreaded this…” Applejack winced as the magic began to take hold and she grunted and doubled over holding her head. “No! Ah don’t wanna be… frou frou… girly… refined… glamorous…. Beautiful!” Applejack cried as her mane and tail began to reform into Rarities elegant style and her cutie mark became three diamonds. “NO!” Applejack cried before falling over. When she came too she saw at least four other Rarity-like ponies standing over her… oddly enough she felt at home with them now. “Oh dear, are you alright?” Rainbow asked. “Let’s get you off that floor darling,” Pinkie said and Applejack took their hooves. “I thank you darlings, and I must say your manes are simply enchanting,” Applejack said as she stood and dusted herself off. “Ah, thank you dear,” Fluttershy said, then they heard hoofsteps and turned to see Rarity entering and smiling at what she saw. “Well! This is nothing short of a dream come true! Come girls, let us bask in our refinement!” Rarity said. “Indeed!” They all cheered and they followed Rarity downstairs. As they made their way into the kitchen, Granny Smith saw them and sighed. “At least she ain’t doin this of her own free will,” Granny said, not wanting AJ to truly turn into Rarity. “Oh Granny Smith, you worry too much, I will not change too much from the pony I was… now who wants to get a hooficuuuuure!?” Applejack asked in a very Rarity-like way. “Yes!” The other Rarity’s cheered and they trotted out in a line. “AJ’s not stayin like that… right?” Apple Bloom asked. “Ah hope not,” Big Mac said. Rarity and the other Rarity’s were in the spa enjoying many of the benefits. Rainbow was actually letting somepony paint her hooves, Applejack was letting somepony fashion her mane, and Pinkie was making polite and calm conversation with Rarity over various topics. “This is a dream come true,” Rarity said as Bulk massaged her. “Agreed,” Fluttershy sighed happily. “Quite indeed, say Rarity, what do you say after we all get our manes braided we can head to the Boutique for a little artisanat de vêtements?” Twilight asked as she got a massage as well. “Oh how delightful!” Rarity cheered, today was going to be a good day. “I am so there,” Rainbow said. “Yay verily!” Pinkie cheered. As they entered the Boutique they all scattered and gathered supplies. “Now! I trust I don’t have to inform you all on how to do this?” Rarity asked with a knowing look. “Oh darling, need you even ask?” Applejack said. “Then let us make a new fashion line with the combination of six minds!” Rarity cheered. Over the course of the day the six mares toiled at the sewing machines and needlework. They were making almost more beautiful dresses than they knew what to do with. “How’s this? Too gauche?” Rarity asked Pinkie about the fabric she was using. “It’s marvelous,” Pinkie replied. “Simply magnifique,” Fluttershy chimed in. “Thank you,” Rarity said. “I beg your pardon, but does this hat match this dress?” Rainbow asked wearing a fur hat with a brown dress. “Mmmmh… I say no,” Twilight said with an astute nod. “Goodness, then I best switch hats,” Rainbow laughed with Twilight. After they were done the Boutique was positively bursting with clothing and they were then carrying out the clothes in piles. “I’ve wanted to do this for so long, build a hundred dresses and then donate them to those in need of my fashion taste,” Rarity said. “Ahem,” The others said. “Uh… our fashion taste!” Rarity corrected. They then delivered the dresses to the donation center and dropped them off. “Wow, I never saw that many dresses before… um… which charity?” The clerk asked. “Any and all, I would be remiss if I were to leave a single mare or stallion without an outfit to wear,” Rarity said. “Wow, that’s generous,” The stallion said and the six mares left the store. “This day has been simply splendid dears, thank you,” Rarity said. “Not a worry dear,” Rainbow replied. “Now what?” Pinkie asked. “I’m thinking…. Gem hunting!” Rarity said. “Then tally ho!” They cheered. They were in the gem caves an hour later and they were mining for various gems. “With all these extra hooves on deck getting a gem supply will be a cinch!” Rarity said before pulling a particularly big ruby out of the ground. “Ooooh! That’s a pretty and big one dear,” Fluttershy said. “Best examine it to make sure there are no faults,” Rarity said and they immediately surrounded it and began skimming it for any faults they needed to correct. “Looks surprisingly clean,” Pinkie said. “Then this will be a success!” Rarity said. “As much as I’d like to continue this scavenger hunt, I fear we should get moving before night time, I don’t wish to pass out here,” Twilight cautioned. “Sounds like a plan,” Rarity said and they went home. As they entered the Boutique they all went downstairs and collapsed on the bed. “Oh my… this has been quite a day, I got alot done thanks to you all,” Rarity said. “And I now understand what it means to be a classy mare, win-win,” Rainbow said. “Indeed, well, let us get ready for tomorrow,” Rarity said and they all drifted off. Author's Note I like to think that deep down they enjoyed it. Remaining ones: A nice change of paceTwilight woke up in bed and looked at her friends, she knew the situation was almost over. But in a way it's given her a new perspective on her friends, feeling like them, being like them, helping them get their jobs done. It felt nice and so she decided to wake them up… maybe after they had enough sleep. “Oh what’s this?... I seem to be thinking about their needs more seriously then usual… I think I know who I’m becoming,” Twilight didn’t try to fight it and let the transformation take her over, and when the glow faded she looked like a Twilight version of Fluttershy. “I-I should go, perhaps breakfast?” Twilight said as she hovered over them quietly and she left the room. After sleeping for another hour the group woke and looked at each other and smiled. “W-well, nothing is wrong with being Fluttershy for a day,” Rainbow said shyly. “Indeed, let’s go and grab breakfast, if you all want to that is,” Rarity suggested. The others nodded and they trotted downstairs and found Twilight was way ahead of them. “Hello, dears, I was hoping to make you all some food, I-I hope you like it,” Twilight softly said. “We appreciate it dear,” Pinkie said and they all made their way to the table. Twilight had made plates of pancakes, and she even used the special seasoning Fluttershy uses for her pancakes. “Mmm! Tasty,” Fluttershy complimented. “Indeed,” Rarity said. “I want some blueberries if ya don’t mind,” Applejack said politely. “Here you are,” Fluttershy hoofed it to her. “After this, we should make our way to the cottage, Angel will probably get cranky without his morning salad,” Rainbow said. “Mhm,” Pinkie said. After breakfast the Shy’s trotted through town, the ponies having gotten used to their personality shifts. Fluttershy led the charge to her cottage, getting there they saw the poor state the cottage was in, Fluttershy being absent for several days will do that… “Well girls, let’s do this,” Fluttershy said excited to have some help for once. Instead of cheering they silently raised their hooves in approval. Instantly they got to work, Applejack mowed the lawn, making extra sure to avoid the daisies and small animals that could get hurt by the mower. “Whoo, careful dears!” AJ said alerting a few voles of her approach with the mower and they got out of the way. “Look out! I have rain!” Rainbow called to her fellow Shy’s and she brought a cloud over and made it rain on the plants to water them. “Haha! Fluttershy chuckled watching Pinkie simultaneously herding the chickens, rabbits, and mice all while riding Harry. “Come along darlings, we all need our daily exercise,” Pinkie said. Twilight was using her magic to rebuild several birdhouses at the same time and Rarity was fashioning nests for a snake. “It feels nice to have help,” Fluttershy said with a smile. The mane six were then helping Fluttershy repaint her house and clean up her interior. Dusting, sweeping, mopping, washing dishes and helping more inside animals with their needs. “I need a hoof, if anyone can,” Fluttershy said. “Ah got ya,” Applejack helped her lift the couch so she can get to it with her duster. “Thank you,” Fluttershy said. Angel looked pleased as he saw Fluttershy and her five copies fixing him up a salad. But when they brought it to him he saw it was missing a cherry… again… He kicked Fluttershy out. As he walked back dusting off his paws he bumped into an orange leg and looked up at a sight that nearly made him piddle himself. Five sets of eyes giving him the stare. “That wasn’t nice,” RD said. “Please go retrieve her,” Twilight said. “Or no dessert,” Rarity said. Angel stepped outside and retrieved Fluttershy from between a fence post and deposited her beside them. And the stare times five ended. “Thank you, girls, I never get the chance to discipline him,” Fluttershy said. “No problem Shy,” Twilight said. At night time the group sat around a campfire and told each other cute stories about their pets while braiding each other's manes. “I remember Gummy, that one time he wouldn’t stop staring at me until he got his belly rubs,” Pinkie chuckled. “Or that time Winoa chased a thrown ball into a haypile,” AJ giggled. "I got one, Owlicious was sleep flying and thought Spike was a snack," Twilight giggled. “Oh pets, we love them!” They all squeed and laughed. As they made their way to bed, Fluttershy broke the news to Twilight. “There’s only one more day to this, right?” Fluttershy asked. “Yes, I believe it is my turn, I look forward to it, n-not that today wasn’t fun,” Twilight said. “I appreciate all the help, all the animals and chores are taken care of for once,” Fluttershy giggled. After that, they all drifted off to a dreamless sleep. Author's Note One more...right? Being smart about this [+ a surprise]Rainbow Dash woke up first and found she was thirsty. She decided to go downstairs and fetch herself some water, as she got to the sink and poured herself some water she noticed a book on the counter… and oddly enough, she was interested. She approached the book and saw it was a guide to exotic animal care. “Interesting, I have nothing more to do until the others wake up,” Rainbow Dash said before picking the book up and trotting over to a chair. As she read she didn’t notice her mane becoming Twilight’s mane-cut and her cutie mark shifting. “And in conclusion, one should never overfeed a Capybara… fascinating!” Rainbow said enthusiastically even as her fellow book friends came downstairs. “Hmm? Hello everypony,” Rainbow said. “Hello, I see you’ve located my book on exotic animal care,” Fluttershy said. “Yes, it was quite fascinating,” Rainbow said. “This is my dream come true,” Twilight said not noticing Spike in the background collecting books and going upstairs. The next few hours were spent reading books and chatting about them. Twilight then decided to gather some spell books and science materials and they went down to the basement to practice them with Rarity, they were performing an experiment that Twilight always wanted Rarity to help her with, but she was always too busy…. “Alright, vector three, to pilon four?” Twilight said. “Nonono, vector four, to pilion three, we must make the correct balance between magic and science,” Rarity said. “Good point, oh if Sunset could see us now,” Twilight said as she lowered the mini pylon onto the table carefully so as to not disrupt the experiment. Nearby, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were having a pretty even keel chess match. “Nice move with your bishop, too bad you left your knight wide open!” Fluttershy knocked over Rainbow’s knight with her pawn. “Curses!” Rainbow said. And Pinkie and Applejack were running an experiment of their own where they try multiple forms of compatible acid in the same beaker, to make a super acid! “Alright, two-thirds acidic tree sap, cobbled with one-seventh toad poison, a bottle of water, ionized dragon sulfur, and leaping lizard venom, mixed with four third hydra venom,” Pinkie said. “Ah hope this doesn’t blow up or create a toxic gas…” AJ said. “No problem, stand back! I’m about to do science!” Pinkie said before pouring the rest into a pan with a titanium ingot in it… and it melted right through “Eureka!” Pinkie cheered. “Ah can’t help but think you’d do this even if you weren’t brainwashed into being Twilight right now,” AJ said removing her goggles. “Totally, in fact, I did it last week,” Pinkie said. After that, they went to quills and sofas with Twilight and they gathered enough supplies to last. They went back and began writing a long document on this adventure, each on their own. “And in conclusion, we all feel a bit closer together like this, love Twilight and friends,” Twilight read out “Ok girls, sharing time,” Twilight and the others then passed their research around and found they had made fewer mistakes and had written in a similar font as the original. “I like having sisters,” Twilight said before looking around for Spike “Spike! We need you to send these! Where are you?” Twilight called but when he didn’t appear she decided to just send it tomorrow when things are less hectic. Afterwards, they gathered in Twilight’s bedroom as the final night came to a close. “I had so much fun girls… it isn’t every day one gets a bunch of like-minded ponies to work with,” Twilight said happily. “We’re glad to have been of service Twilight,” Rarity said and the rest hummed in agreement. “Goodnight,” Twilight said before she went to sleep. The next day From Twilight’s view, she exited her bed. “Whew, it’s finally over, now we can return to life as norm- ooof!” Twilight grunted as she hit the ground. “Odd… why is everything bigger?” Twilight asked before looking to see everypony sleeping in their bags and not wanting to disturb them Twilight crept around them… somehow not noticing her bipedal gait. She made her way into the bathroom and saw that the counter was higher than usual. “This is so weird… did something happen?” Twilight flapped her wings to get higher…. And moments later when she saw her reflection a higher-pitched scream rang through the castle. Spike woke up with a groan… it’s been a weird week, repeated blackouts, and extended naps, he’s beginning to wonder if he’s coming down with something. As Spike made his way to the downstairs and he entered the kitchen he heard crunching noises. “Hey guys… I’ve been sleeping weird lately, so can I- HUH?!” Spike exclaimed when he saw six other baby dragons sitting in chairs eating gemstone cereal. “Hey dude!” Rainbow said. “How’s it going?” Rarity said in a non-lady-like tone. “Mmm, I love gemstones,” Pinkie said. “Hey, the toy in the box is mine!” RD yelled as Applejack snatched it. “Eenope!” AJ said with a giggle. “Hey Spike… I suppose you were affected by the spell too… and I guess this is what happens when the spell affects another species…” Twilight said. “...Uh… what spell?” Spike asked. “Never mind, but that’s not all it did…” Twilight sighed. “What?” Spike asked. “....We kinda have-” Twilight leaned in and whispered in Spike’s ear. “........WHAT THE-” FIN Author's Note If you all want a Spike chapter, give me a Spike's fun day [+another surprise]Spike sat at the fireplace and watched the now kiddish scale six tossing a ball around. “So… you’re all boy dragons now, so… what do we do?” Spike said. “Whatever you want to do, it’s your day I guess,” Twilight shrugged. “I’ve… always wanted that,” Spike said with an eager grin. “And now that we’re dragons, which is cool btw, we can do anything a dragon can do!” Pinkie cheered. “YEAH!” The seven baby dragons cheered. Spike walked into a gem cave that he and Rarity usually visit. “One thing I love to do is visit here on my own and snag a ton of gems for later consumption, with six extra hands, that’ll be a big grab,” Spike said. “YEAH!” The six baby dragons cheered. “Let’s get digging!” Spike said. It showed the seven baby drakes digging around the cave, carrying loads of crystals to form a pile. “Oooh pretty!” Rarity said as he ate it. “Don’t eat the merch yet!” Spike said. “Cannonball!” Pinkie and Rainbow jumped off the bigger pile and into a smaller pile of gems. “Ugh, is this what I’d be like if I acted my age?” Spike wondered. Twilight dug in the dirt before finding a big gem. “Guys! I found a big one!” Twilight said. “Alright!” The other baby dragons ran to him and helped him grab the other side of it and they pulled and pulled and pulled until it came out and they found the biggest ruby ever! “Whoa!” They all said. “Yummy!” Pinkie said jumping on it and spinning around the gem eating it rapidly. “Pinkie!” They shouted in exasperation as he laid on the ground with a full tummy and burped. “Worth it!” Pinkie said. Next up they went to a discount store back in Ponyville. As they ran around trying on the discounted outfits and running around having fun and making a big mess. “Ugh… kids…” The upset store clerk said. Next it showed them arriving at a waterpark. “I’ve always wanted to go to this waterpark, but soooompony was always too busy,” Spike not so subtly hinted to Twilight. “I get I get it,” Twilight rolled his eyes. “Party time!” Pinkie cheered and they all ran out into the waterpark. It showed Pinkie and AJ sliding down a waterslide too fast and they wound up skipping on the water a few times before splashing down. “Look out below!” Rainbow stood on the lifeguard's tower. “Hey! Get down from there!” A pony shouted. “Make me!” Rainbow said before he jumped into the water splashing the lifeguard. Twilight and Fluttershy merely sunbathed while Spike ran by carrying a beach ball. The sun was nearing the epicenter of the sky and Spike led his friends on their next adventure. “Next up, reenactment time!” Spike said. Spike jumped up on a pillow fort. “Hahaha! Let them go Mane-iac! Or face a power pony pummeling from Humdrum!” Spike declared. Looking over at the scene Twilight was dressed as Maneiac and the others tied up, with Matter Horn just being a plushie. “Bring it on Humdrum! When my mondo fusion reactor bursts it’ll cover the whole city in toxic waste!” Twilight said playfully. “Bring it!” Spike said and he jumped at Twilight and had a playfight. “...Next time… I’m choosing who plays who…” Rainbow grumped. Spike and the others went to bed afterward and climbed into a big bed together. “Whew… what a day, I got to do everything I wanted to do, and with you guys too,” Spike said happily. “No problem Spike, you deserve a you day,” Twilight said as they all fell asleep. “Yeah, Gnight,” Spike said. Waking up the next day Spike found himself in the same bed as six mares and remembering Rarity was next to him he scooted into her embrace and sighed happily returning to sleep. … before a colorful explosion occurred sending him flying. “AAAH!” Spike yelped as he hit the ground and he looked at the now destroyed bed… and saw a shocking sight. Zecora was going to make her daily trip out to the Everfree for supplies when she heard a polite knock on her door. “Coming,” Zecora said. Then suddenly the knocking got intense. “I said I am coming I am warning, don’t destroy my door, not this early in the morning,” Zecora said speed trotting to the door and opening it… and she widened her eyes. “What happened to us?!” A rainbow-colored Twilight demanded. “My rainbow colors! They're gone!” Rainbow complained, now having Pinkie Pies pink. “I kinda like it,” Pinkie said being purple and green. “I don’t!” Spike said being pink and yellow. Applejack was now purple and white and Rarity sobbing as she was blonde and orange. Fluttershy was now purple and pink and a lighter purple, like Twilight. And then suddenly they changed colors. “Oh dear! I didn’t think this would occur, now you are all changing colors both scales and fur!” Zecora exclaimed. “Why?!” Rainbow asked now green and purple. “One of you must have had an allergic reaction, one that triggered a shift in the magic affecting your faction,” Zecora said. “So… one of us had a reaction to the magic which distorted it and made it go haywire?!” Twilight exclaimed. “Yes,” Zecora said. “Who?” a now white and purple Fluttershy asked. “Are any of you allergic to bals root?” Zecora asked. “No,” They all responded. “Black tubers?” Zecora asked. “No,” They all responded. “Possum fur?” Zecora asked “No,” They all responded. “Cinnamon?” Zecora asked. “No,” They all responded… before Rainbow paused and then paled “Oh wait… a little…” Rainbow said embarrassedly. “Rainbow!” The others said. “Hey! Not my fault!” Rainbow said. ‘How do we fix this?” Twilight asked now yellow and pink. “...You might not like hearing it but I need to get the brew fire lit,” Zecora said going back inside and lighting the fire beneath the brew. “Why? What does this have to do with fixin this?” a pink Applejack asked. “I have a second method, my crew, I will simply need to rebuild the original brew, there will be no need to panic or run for this time I will exclude the cinnamon,” Zecora said. “...Zecora… you're not saying what I think you’re saying… are you?” A now White and purple Twilight said fearfully. “To act as an antidote, I must use these, and through another week, you will evidently…. Once more switch personalities…” Zecora said. The whole group passed out, except Spike who just shrugged “Here we go again…” Spike sighed. Author's Note "Uh oh, guess they gotta endure another week And there we go! A pleasing finale to a great shorter story of mine. I hope you all enjoyed it.
The startPinkie Pie, Ponyville's premire party pony was pronking pass ponies. “Nice one!” Pinkie complimented as she hopped passed a group of ponies and she waved as they waved at her. She made her way down to the castle with the ponies she cared about most in the whole wide world with a plan to get the tensions to stop. “I can tell you are all a bit confused about where the author and I are going with this, so let this flashback show you all,” Pinkie said before grabbing the top of the screen and pulling down another scene. Pinkie trotted through town up to Sugarcube Corner to see her friends, they had a planned gathering today after all. Pinkie entered and shouted “HELLLOOOOO PONIES!” Pinkie cheered. Before a pie hit her in the face knocking her down, after licking the pie cream off of her face Pinkie looked to see a troubling situation. “Not the mane!” Rarity said firmly as Rainbow was throwing pies around. “Then apologize for calling me… what was it again?” Rainbow paused. “Uncouth and unladylike” Rarity clarified. “Yeah, that!” Rainbow said throwing more pies. “I swear if you get one piece of pie in my mane you’ll suffer for it!” Rarity cried diving behind cover as a hail of creamy dessert fell. Meanwhile Applejack and Twilight were arguing. “I wasn’t saying you don’t know how to take care of your animals, I’m just saying proper calculations can save you a fortune on feed distributions, I’ve seen you dump whole sacks of food into their troughs,” Twilight said. “An ah said ah don’t need yer fancy calculations to know how ta take care of mah animals,” AJ said. And as for Fluttershy, she and Angel were hiding behind a table. “Girls, please stop fighting!” Fluttershy said and Pinkie popped up next to her. “What’s going on?” Pinkie asked ducking a thrown pie. “All I did was suggest some conversation topics and then they began disagreeing and then… this!” Fluttershy said. And meanwhile, Mr and Mrs Cake were hiding behind the counter. “Oh sweet cinnamon sticks Pinkie, your here, you gotta do something,” Mrs Cake said. “I’m on it,” Pinkie said and she pulled out a pair of air horns and blared them making everypony cover their ears. “Huh?” They all looked at Pinkie. “Enough girls, what’s going on here?” Pinkie asked. “Well Rares here needs to apologize for saying I wouldn’t know high society mare behavior if it bit me in the flank,” Rainbow said. “I have never seen you act like a proper mare, it is always sports this and action comics that, and your extreme reaction is proof there isn’t a fancy bone in your body,” Rarity said. “You take that back, I don’t need to be fancy-schmancy like you, I got my style,” RD said. “Well ah’m tellin Twi here ah don’t need her calculations to improve anythin, the Apple Family has traditions we have ways of providing fer our livestock,” AJ said. “And I was just suggesting that maybe you could do it with better results to your production,” Twilight said. “That ain’t your concern,” AJ said. “Stop it, girls!” Pinkie said “We’re friends, and sure we’re having one of those rough patches but we don’t need to be at eachothers throats over such minor things,” Pinkie said. “Well, till Rares realizes she’s wrong, I’m going to go read some comics,” Rainbow said walking off. “Fine, I have more important things to do,” Rarity said doing the same. “And ah’m going to go do mah own distribution, mah way,” Applejack said trotting out. “Have it your way,” Twilight humphed and walked away. “Girls! Don’t leave being mad at eachother, girls?” Pinkie said with a deflated mane. “I-I better go too, have a good day Pinkie,” Fluttershy said leaving with her rabbit companion. “Oh… what do I do?” Pinkie asked. “We’ll have to close for the day, so why not see how you can get your friends to stop arguing,” Mr Cake said. “Ok,” Pinkie said. Pinkie was sitting on a bench wondering what to do. “Rainbow is mad Rarity thinks she couldn’t be refined if she tried and Rarity thinks Rainbow is unlady-like, and Applejack and Twilight can’t agree on how the other thinks that they should do their work if only there was a way to help them-” Pinkie said before her Pinkie Sense tingled and she turned to see Zecora nearby. “Of course,” Pinkie bounced up to Zecora. “Hmm?” Zecora said turning to see Pinkie approaching. “Zecora! I need your help!” Pinkie said. “Ah Pinkie Pie, what a joy to see you, that is no lie,” Zecora said in her usual rhymes. “Nice to see you Zecora, I need help,” Pinkie said. “Come,” Zecora said leading Pinkie to where she was going. Pinkie followed her to her hut and they sat down around a cauldron. “I was simply making a brew, what can I do for you?” Zecora said. “My friends are fighting over their differences, I’m worried that this will hurt our friendship in the long run, do you have anything that can help?” Pinkie asked. “Hmm… yes, I do have something, courtesy of a Changling,” Zecora said before making her way over to a shelf and gathering some ingredients “What is the method you desire, to rekindle friends fire?” Zecora asked. “I want us all to see things from each other’s perspective,” Pinkie said. “Then I have just the thing, made from a shed exoskeleton of a ling,” Zecora said before putting the ingredients in the brew and stirring it. After some more ingredients and stirring Zecora produced a glowing green vial. “Open this vial when the time is nigh, and may your hopes of friendship fly,” Zecora said. “Thanks Zecora!” Pinkie said before taking the vial and bouncing out of the hut. “Hehehe, this will be interesting,” Zecora chuckled. “And resume,” Pinkie said before entering the castle “Hope you all enjoyed that little rerun,” Pinkie said before approaching the room that her friends were in. Unsurprisingly they were distracting themselves through various means rather than talk to each other. “Hey, friends!” Pinkie said approaching them as they gave noncommital answers “You can’t all still be arguing?” “Pinkie, we’re still fresh off an argument, and suddenly you called us all here on an emergency, so what is it?” Twilight asked. “We’re the emergency,” Pinkie said. “What?” Rainbow asked. “We’re all arguing because none of us can understand what the other is going through, well that can be fixed with this!” Pinkie produced the vial of green liquid. “...What is that?” Rarity asked. “Zecora said it would help us see things from each other's perspective,” Pinkie said. “Do you even know what it does?” Twilight nervously said. “Nope!” Pinkie said. “We should find out before-” “Nope! We’re going to understand each other better after this, doctors guarantee,” Pinkie said before trotting forward. “Pinkie it’s safer to find out what it does before anything!” Twilight tried to stop her but Pinkie opened the vial and a green mist came out of it. “What the ha-” Applejack tried to exclaim before an explosion ripped through the room. After waking up the group saw that thankfully nothing was too damaged. “Ugh… Pinkie!” Rarity said getting up. “What the hay Pinks?” RD said getting up. “I didn’t think it would explode,” Pinkie said. “That’s why you find out more about a potion before using it!” Twilight complained. Fluttershy approached from the other side of the couch. “Is everypony alright?” Fluttershy asked. “Ah ah’m,” Applejack said approaching. “...Well? Is everypony feeling more intuned?” Pinkie asked. “....Ah don’t feel any different,” AJ said. “Are you sure?” Pinkie asked. “Yeah,” AJ said plainly. “I don’t get it, it was supposed to work,” Pinkie complained. “Pinkie maybe we should be glad nothing happened, who knows what could have happened to us because you weren’t being careful,” Twilight said. “I guess your right…” Pinkie said sadly. “...Look, let’s just go home and we can have a talk tomorrow, it’s getting late anyways,” Twilight offered. “Ok…” Pinkie said and the group made to leave. “And if any of you feel any adverse effects please visit the hospital first, just in case,” Twilight called after them. Each of the mares went home that night oddly tired, and when they went to sleep… they all had dreams of… Balloons? Cake? And partying? Little did they know what tomorrow would bring… Author's Note Bit of a weak start but trust me, things will pick up in the next chapter.
Pinkie times sixRarity woke with a jaw-cracking yawn. “Ahh, what a strange sleep that was… it makes me feel… weird,” Rarity shrugged and hopped to the bathroom…? “Hmm?” Rarity noticed that she was hopping and she stopped “Odd… why was I doing that?” Rarity said before trotting into the bathroom “Be calm Rarity, you are probably still just tired, now remember that- AAAH!” Rarity said noticing what a mess her mane was and she hurriedly applied some hairspray and gel to smooth it down. “I’ve had bedhead before but never that badly,” Rarity said… before her mane poofed out again “No!” Rarity shouted when she saw this and she repeated the process and flattened out her mane again… only for it to poof out again, deciding drastic measures needed to be taken she got out several colorful scrunchies and she put her mane in a ponytail. “Hah, good one author… wait… who was I just talking to… ok, Rarity stop acting like this! You are an elegant mare and you aren’t to let whatever is happening take you over,” Rarity said… before she jumped into the tub and she was suddenly downstairs in the closet. “Huh?!” Rarity exclaimed before exiting and looking around and when she looked to the kitchen she saw Sweetie making pancakes. “Hmm? Oh! Hey Rarity, I didn’t hear you come downstairs, I was hoping to surprise you,” Sweetie said before seeing the unnerved expression on Rarity's face “Is everything alright?” Sweetie said bringing the burnt pancakes to the table. “I-I’ve been having the strangest morning…” Rarity said before trotting to her seat and staring nervously down at the pancakes. “Is everything alright?” Sweetie asked. “I… feel as though these pancakes… can… be…. SPLENDORIFFIC!” Rarity suddenly cheered before hopping off the chair and in front of the stove before she rapidly made non-burnt pancakes in three seconds, put a ton of toppings on it, and got back in her seat all in the time it took Sweetie to process the events listed before. “Whoa! How did you-” Sweetie said. “I-I have no idea! Sweetie, something is wrong I-...I…I…” Rarity suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head and she cried out and fell to the ground. “Rarity!” Sweetie cried running over to her as she rolled around on the ground and held her head. “Rarity, do I need to get you to the hospital?” Sweetie said. “I… feel… I…. feel….. IIII feeeeeeellll…..” Rarity groaned before the scrunchies broke and her mane began curling into a poofy mass of a mane and her cutie mark suddenly became balloons. “Huh?” Sweetie backed away as Rarty transformed. “I… I….FEEL…..LIKE A PARTY IS IN ORDER!” Rarity popped to her hooves and spread her arms laughing. “Rarity, your sick, you need help,” Sweetie shivered. “On the contrary Sweetie! I feel elation, and cheerfulness, I simply must share this with everypony! Today I am Rarity, the party planner!” Rarity said before eating her pancakes in one bite and darting out the door. “....Wow…” Sweetie said. Rarity bounced through Ponyville with a playful hum and she waved to the other ponies who could only stare in confusion as to why Rarity of all ponies was acting like Pinkie. Suddenly Rarity’s mane bounced and she turned to see another figure bouncing towards her. “Rarie!” Twilight cheered and she bounced over to her friend and hugged her. “Twilight! I am ever so elated to see you,” Rarity said before pulling away and looking Twilight over, she looked like a Twilight version of Pinkie! “You’ve become like Pinkie as well?” Rarity asked. “I woke up today feeling like partying and eating sugary sweets until I passed out, and then suddenly I became Twilight the party pony!” Twilight cheered. “Me too, I don’t know how to describe it but I feel jubilated, I simply must find the others,” Rarity said. “I agree, let’s go!” Twilight giggled and they locked forelegs and skipped into the distance. They arrived at the castle but their Pinkie Sense warned them and they opened the doors and got sprayed with multiple party cannons. Instead of their usual exasperation, they laughed. “Hiya!” RD cheered, her mane all curly and poofy as well. “Hey glad ya can make it!” Applejack said excitedly her mane was curly as well. “LET’S PAAARRTY!” Fluttershy yelled at an unusual volume for her. “Hold it fellow Pinkified ponies,” Twilight said drawing their attention “This party won’t be complete without the O.G,” Twilight said. “Ah yes! Pinkie Pie!” Rainbow said. “Maybe she can explain what happened to us?” Fluttershy said. “Ain’t it obvious, it’s the potion, made us all like Pinkie Pie,” Applejack said. “Well, let’s get the party ready,” Twilight said mischievously. Pinkie woke with a start, she looked around and stood up. “I’m… sensing something…” Pinkie glanced around before her mane and tail bounced. It was warning her there was a party somewhere and she wasn’t personally invited! “Not on my watch!” Pinkie said before trotting towards the door and grabbing Gummy and putting him on her back before going downstairs. As she went through Sugarcube Corner Mr Cake was already setting things up, he was in the middle of lifting a series of cakes. “Oh, hey Pinkie, can you help me with-” Mr Cake asked before Pinkie cut him off. “No time Mr Cake, I need to correct an injustice!” Pinkie said. “And… that is?” Mr Cake wobbled. “A party without me!” Pinkie said before bouncing out of the building. “B-but Pinkie I need help!” Mr Cake said before he slipped and fell over. Pinkie trotted up to the castle where disco lights were shining through the window and loud music was playing. “I sense it, this is where the party is, have a party without me, what’s going on?” Pinkie said before noticing a cupcake on the ground. “Huh? OOOH Strawberry cupcake!” Pinkie ate it and then saw another. “Yummy!” Pinkie ate that one and then the next one until she made it to the door and she turned to see the door there was a sign on the door. “Hmm… Turn around for a surprise… Hah! Nice try! I won’t fall for-” Pinkie was suddenly scooped up by hooves from above her and she got pulled up “EEEP!” Pinkie yelped and she suddenly found herself amid a sort of mega party. A buffet, a bounce house, a pool was somehow put in the room, and a clown and a… too much to describe! “WOWIE! Now this is a party! But who else but me could make it?” Pinkie asked. “Why you of course silly!” A voice that sounded like Rarity said and Pinkie turned to see her friends… only they all had curly manes and balloon cutie marks. “Girls?” Pinkie asked. “Yeppers!” Rainbow Dash giggled. “We’re all like you now!” Twilight bounced up to Pinkie. “Wow! So the potion worked?” Pinkie asked. “Looks like it, now we’re thinking like you,” Fluttershy said. “Then there’s only thing to do now then…” Pinkie said. “PARTY!” They all cheered, and the next few hours were spent by all the cheerful ponies having a blast, they all went bouncing in the bounce house and doing cartwheels and pranking eachother. Pinkie and the others eventually took a break and sat down. “Whoo, ah didn’t think ah could feel this kind of way,” AJ said. “Like what?” RD asked. “Happy all the time, wanting ta party fer hours, energetic, ah feel like a new mare,” AJ said with a goofy smile. “But the party ain’t over till we dead!” Rainbow said with a smirk. “Then let’s get partying some more!” Applejack said. As the party picked back up, Pinkie and Fluttershy were sent out to get more partygoers and the party lasted well throughout the day. The door opened and Mr Cake snuck in. “Hey, excuse me,” Mr Cake approached a random stallion who turned to him. “Yeah?” The stallion asked. “Do you know where Pinkie Pie is? The line at Sugarcube Corner is too long for me to deal with alone,” Mr Cake said. “I have no idea, I literally got abducted off the streets and into this party by a crazy yellow mare,” The stallion said. “Yellow?... like Fluttershy?” Mr Cake asked before trotting on and eventually, he saw the said yellow and pink mare on a raised platform… dancing? “Huh?” Mr. Cake said seeing Fluttershy breakdancing… in a way he’s only seen Pinkie do… “Mrs Fluttershy!” Mr Cake called and she turned to him with a curly mane similar to Pinkie’s. “Hiya Mr Cake!” She cheered, he’d never seen her so excitable. “Um… what’s going on here?” Mr Cake asked. “Only the awesomest most splendoriffic party ever! Wanna Cherrychanga?” Fluttershy pulled on out of her mane. “No… thank you… look is Twilight nearby?” Mr Cake asked. “She’s right there,” Fluttershy pointed. ‘Thank goodness,” Mr Cake turned to see Twilight only inches from his face… “AHH! Geeze,” Mr Cake said. “Hiya! Wanna party? My favorite song of all time is coming on!” Twilight said. “Are you alright princess?” Mr Cake asked. “I’m awesome!” She said. “Your all acting like Pinkie Pie,” Mr Cake said. “Yeppers! All thanks to a potion Pinkie gave us!” Twilight said. “What?” Mr Cake asked. “From Zecora!” Twilight said. “....I need to get answers,” Mr Cake said. Mr Cake wandered through the woods and found Zecora’s hut, as creepy as usual. “Oook, maybe she knows what’s going on,” Mr Cake said. He knocked on the door a few times and Zecora answered. “Hello Purveyor of cake, I am glad you came for Pinkie’s sake,” Zecora said. “How did-” “I could hear you,” Zecora said. “Oh… I need to know why the princess and the other elements of harmony are all acting like Pinkie,” Mr Cake asked. “Ah it is taking effect sooner than I first expected, looks like my efforts are worthy of being respected,” Zecora chuckled. “How do you tie into this?” Mr Cake said. “I simply gave them the potion of imitation, to those affected its effects have no limitation, each day they will all act like eachother for a week, at the end I predict their friendship problems will become weak,” Zecora said. This is going to happen for a whole week? But I need Pinkie to be her usual upbeat self!” Mr Cake exclaimed. “It is in their hooves you who employs, now if you’ll excuse me, I have a bath to enjoy,” Zecora then closed the door. “Oh dear…” Mr Cake said. He made his way to the Castle again and saw that the party had thankfully died down. As he entered he saw the place was somehow clean again and saw the six Pinkies. “Pinkie Pie!” Mr Cake called and Pinkie zoomed up to him. “Yes chief?” Pinkie asked. “Any reason you’ve missed a whole day of work and turned the princess and her friends into…” Mr Cake had to duck Fluttershy who flew overhead. “Sorry bossman!” Fluttershy said with a giggle. “That,” Mr Cake asked looking a little upset. “I… didn’t think it would happen like that,” Pinkie said as the others gathered. “Well regardless, now they're stuck emulating eachother for the next five days,” Mr Cake said. “Five days?” AJ said with a deflating mane. “Oh dear,” Fluttershy said. “But Mr Cake, this could help fix things between them,” Pinkie asked. “I get that, but it could be dangerous,” Mr Cake said. “Well it’s too late to change that now, so let’s get moving, ready girls?” Pinkie asked. “Bring it!” Rainbow Dash said. “Let’s get baking!” AJ said, her mane reinflating and they all darted past Mr Cake. “...Oh please don’t let this end badly,” Mr Cake said before following them. The long line at Sugarcube Corner versus six Pinkie Pies. “Bring it on!” Pinkie said bouncing along with her friends and they entered the building. Mrs Cake looked overworked and trying to keep up when she saw the elements. “Oh thank Celestia, Pinkie… and everypony else?” Mrs Cake asked. “Don’t ask, just take a break, we got this!” Pinkie said and Mrs Cake nodded before the six jumped behind the counter. “What’ll you have?” Pinkie asked a stallion. “A cinnamon roll,” The stallion said. “On it!” Pinkie said and Applejack got that to Pinkie in seconds. “GG!” Pinkie said before giving the stallion the food and collecting the money. “Next!” Pinkie called. “I want a-” The mare was about to ask for a double layer chocolate cake but Rainbow had delivered it and Pinkie extended her hoof for bits. “Whoa…” the mare said even seeing the words she wanted written on it were there. “Five bits,” Pinkie said. “Ok,” The mare gave the money and took the cake, the next customer made his order. “Fifteen Cherry Changas!” Pinkie yelled. In the kitchen “Fifteen Cherry Changa’s on the triple!” Twilight shouted to her friend. “On it!” Fluttershy said flying through the room and gathering the ingredients and before depositing them on the counter. AJ bucked a counter to get some flour to pour into a bucket. RD was rapidly kneading the dough. Rarity was using her skills to decorate the Changas and float them into the oven. They somehow cooked fast and she brought them out before hoofing them to Twilight via magic. “Changa’s ready!” Twilight delivered the changa’s And the weirdest part… this was all done in ten seconds… “Holy, we’ve never worked this fast before,” Mrs Cake exclaimed. “I agree, but I guess six Pinkies work faster than one,” Mr Cake chuckled. “I need a coffee…” Mrs Cake said. By nighttime, the rush was over and Mr and Mrs Cake entered the kitchen to see the six asleep, they also seemed to have returned to normal. “For now at least…” Mr Cake said to himself before they nodded to one another and grabbed the mares before bringing them to Pinkie's room. “Let’s be ready for tomorrow…” Mr Cake said before they went back downstairs. And Gummy turned off the lights. Author's Note And the official good part of the story begins! We're starting with Pinkie, when I check back I will see who we do tomorrow. Make your vote on the element you want to see everypony become the next day.
Bein awesome for a dayFluttershy was the first to wake up the following morning. “Ooooh… my body is sore…” Fluttershy said as she got up and trotted down the hallway and she entered the bathroom and splashed water on her face. The others were still asleep but they began to grunt and groan as they felt changes to their bodies and minds were occurring. Their manes became jagged, and their cutie marks became rainbow lightning bolts. Fluttershy groaned as she looked in the mirror and saw how tired she was, but there was also the fact that she was hurting all over, including in her mind. “Ooooh…. My head… is… it happening again?... who am I becoming?!” Fluttershy demanded as she felt new images entering her head… Images of sports, of flying fast, of being awesome and loyal to her friends. “R-Rainbow?... Do it!…. I want to be… like her!” Fluttershy cried out falling against the counter and she looked in the mirror and her eyes became rose-colored briefly before her mane suddenly rearranged itself to be jagged and messy and her cutie mark became a rainbow lightning bolt. With a final yell, her mind changed and she fell to the ground. After a few seconds, she stood tall and proud and looked at the mirror with a proud grin. “Brave like Rainbow, a dream come true,” Fluttershy cockily said before sneaking back to the room and she unhesitatingly grabbed a megaphone off the shelf and she yelled into it. “Wakey wakey!” Fluttershy called into the megaphone making the sleeping ponies jump into the air with a startled yelp. Cept Pinkie who just grunted. “Five more minutes mom…” Pinkie grumbled. “The hay was that for?” Applejack demanded. “Yeah, totally not cool,” Rarity said. “Nearly gave me a heart attack…” Twilight said looking miffed. “Whoa…” Rainbow looked around at her disgruntled fellow element bearers, who were talking and acting like her. “Hey, we got a day full of activity and I’m not going to let you all laze the day away,” Fluttershy casually said with an arrogant smirk. “Even Shy is acting like me… which reminds me,” Rainbow said getting an idea and she turned to Rarity “So Rares, how’s it feel to be on the receiving end of your own words? Huh?” Rainbow snarked. “Oh do shut up! I am still Rarity and I will show you I can still be refined even if I have the desire to soar through the air at mane-ruining speeds,” Rarity said. “Small problem,” RD said pointing at her back, she glanced back and frowned. “I have a feeling as though I have been crippled even though I never had wings to begin with,” Rarity huffed. “Psh, I got this,” Twilight said before flashing her horn, and suddenly everypony who didn’t have wings had butterfly wings. “Oh no, ah’m too cool fer butterfly wings, give me pegasus wings,” AJ demanded. “I can’t, you think I can just make a pegasus out of thin air?” Twilight barked back. Suddenly their stomachs rumbled and they nodded to each other before heading downstairs first. The group got downstairs and Mr Cake was cleaning the soda machine, when he saw them he dropped his rag. "Whoa," Mr Cake said. "Yep, we're Rainbow today, speaking of which, root beer float," Rainbow said. "Me too!" Pinkie said. "I would like one as well," Rarity said . "Me too!" Fluttershy added in. "Ah'll have three," AJ said competitively. "Me too!" Twilight said. "....Um... make that six," Rainbow said. Pretty soon they were all enjoying root beer floats and chatting about Wonderbolts and flying exercises. Afterwards they all made their way outside. "Um, don't cause too much trouble," Mr Cake called. "No promises!" The six yelled in unison and then they started laughing. "Oh dear..." Mr Cake sighed. "I think I know my exercise routine better than you," RD said. "Ah'm just like you right now," AJ bit back. “Everypony quiet!” Pinkie said “Why waste our day as Rainbow arguing? Let’s fly!” Pinkie said “Race ya!” AJ said jumping into the air and the others followed. As they flew away from Sugarcube Corner ponies saw the multiple Rainbow Dash’s and saw them take off. “Hey AJ! How’s last place sound?” Rainbow taunted as Applejack fell behind. “Consarnit! How the hay am ah supposed to win a race with wimpy butterfly wings?!” AJ said. “Shame we won’t have an actual air race,” Fluttershy taunted as she did several loops. “Hey, Shy? Wanna race?” RD asked. “Hay yeah!” Fluttershy said, excited to finally have the will to say yes. “I’m coming too!” Twilight said. “Sorry guys, guess you’ll have to be spectators,” Rainbow waved back at her slower friends as the three flew for the nearest cloud. “Ponyfeathers…” Rarity grumped. “Doesn’t mean we can’t have our own,” AJ said before flying to ground level. “Alright!” Pinkie said flying down there as well. “Sounds good,” Rarity smirked competitively. “One three, first one to the farm wins!” AJ said. “You're on!” Pinkie said. “On three then?” Rarity said smirking mischievously. “Alright…” AJ said. …. “THREE!” All three of them bolted at the same time. “Ah forgot we’re thinkin alike right now,” AJ grunted as she ran. “Great minds think alike then!” Rarity was already panting. “Getting winded Rares?” Pinkie asked. “No!” Rarity said. “Too bad, see ya!” Pinkie suddenly blazed away from the two. “Huh?! When did she get that fast?” AJ asked. “She did once almost catch Rainbow Dash,” Rarity sighed, once they made it to the barn Pinkie was already there drinking a cider. “What took ya?” She asked smugly. Rarity huffed and fell on the ground panting “I suppose… Rainbow has a point that one must be more inclined to exercise… to race like that…” Rarity panted. “Alright, wonder how the others are doin?” AJ asked. “THREE!” Rainbow, Fluttershy and Twilight took off on their race and they blazed past the market and caused multiple things to be knocked over. “Woohoo! Nice!” Rainbow cheered. “Psh, I have this, ten seconds I bet!” Fluttershy said keeping up. “Curses!” Twilight said as she lagged. “This is why you exercise egghead!” Fluttershy yelled back at her with a smile. “I hardly ever see you exercise!” Twilight bit back. “Um hello, your talking to the animal caretaker,” Fluttershy said before darting forward. “Nice try! But I’m the O.G!” Rainbow said before she sped up and used the Rainboom and she shot ahead. “No fair!” Fluttershy said trying to copy but she lacked the ability. “Totally fair!” Rainbow called back before she reached the cloud they were racing to first. “Alright!” Rainbow cheered and the others arrived. “No fair!” Fluttershy crossed her arms. “Jelly?” RD said. “HEY GUYS!” Pinkie cheered and they saw their other friends down there and they flew down there. “Who wants to play hoofball, I found a good field, just outside of town.” Pinkie challenged. “Oh your so on,” The Rainbow personalities said. It showed the group playing a rousing game, together. “TAKE THIS!” Fluttershy cheered as she bucked the ball to the other side. “Physically weak I may be but I won’t lose!” Rarity said as she deflected the shot. “Ah’m comin in!” AJ said running for the ball. “Your dealing with the best!” RD said as she flew up and bucked the ball. “New best in town!” Twilight said knocking it away with her magic. “Not on my watch!” Pinkie suddenly popped out of the nearby trees and she knocked the ball away. The six laughed and played for the rest of the day, afterwards they made for the barn. “AJ? Is everything alright?” Big Mac asked as he entered and he was surprised to see the six playing cards and drinking lots of hard cider. “...Ah suppose ah can look the other way this time,” Big Mac sighed before leaving. “King me!” Pinkie cheered as she won a hand. “Pinkie that’s checkers,” Twilight sighed. “Oh yeah,” Pinkie said before they played another game, at the end she showed her ace of fives. “Go fish!” Pinkie said. “Wrong game again!” Fluttershy said. “Oh… ok,” Pinkie said. “I got a better one,” AJ showing her ace of sixes. “Oh poo,” Pinkie said. “The next game they were making bigger bets and when Twilight revealed her hand expecting victory Pinkie then showed her royal flush “Gutter ball!” Pinkie cheered. “PINKIE!” The group went on to play other games together, after a day of playing they were sitting in Twilight’s castle, reading Daring Do together. “This was an awesome day, it was like having five sisters who happen to share my interests,” Rainbow sighed happily. “It felt nice to be brave like you Rainbow,” Fluttershy said before laughing at a funny part in her book. “I think it was fun to get some activity,” Twilight said. “Well I think it was fun to get to play hoofball together,” Pinkie said. “And… I do admit perhaps I could stand to get some more exercise than usual,” Rarity said. “Hah!” Rainbow said. “Don’t push it,” Rarity said firmly. “Well, I can only wonder what tomorrow will bring,” Twilight said. “More awesome adventur-” Fluttershy said before the clock under Owlicious struck twelve and they all stiffened and dropped their books before passing out. And their manes and cutie marks became normal again… for now. Meanwhile, a door opened and Spike came in. “Twilight, I’m back- huh?” Spike noticed the six sleeping mares and he decided to head upstairs quietly for now. Author's Note I can't wait which one you guys choose next.
Gettin some honest work doneThe group began to wake up as the sun came in through the windows. “Oooh… my limbs…” Rarity groaned. “Well, it’s tomorrow… so whose next?” Rainbow asked. “Ah think I know,” Pinkie said feeling jittery. “Huh?” Everypony saw her vibrating and she shot into the air and crashed to ground level and an explosion occurred. “Pinkie?!” Twilight exclaimed. “Ah’m not Pinkie anymore… ah’m Pinkie Pie the apple farmer!” Pinkie said as the dust cleared and they saw Pinkie outfitted like Applejack. “Heh, guess you all are goin ta get a day in the dirt an fields today,” Applejack eagerly looked on as the other began to feel it. “No! NO! I am exhausted and a refined mare! I will… not… succumb… ta thi…s…” Rarity tried to fight it but her mane rearranged itself into AJ’s mane-cut and her cutie mark became apples “NO!” Rarity collapsed… and stood up again now looking more like a white and purple version of Applejack. “Ah feel…. Like ah’m ready fer some yard work…” Rarity admitted defeat. “Well girls… Hope yer ready,” Applejack said. After everypony was changed they trotted out of the castle, looking like differently colored Applejacks, Mr Cake was walking outside to check on Pinkie and he saw the six AJ's trotting towards the barn. "What in the cinnamon swirl?" Mr Cake said as he made his way to them and stopped them. "So your Applejack's today?" Mr Cake asked. "Can at least one of you stay behind and help out at Sugarcube Corner? We're not busy, but Pinkie always helped during rushes," Mr Cake said. "Sorry but we've got farm work to do, please understand," AJ said. "I guess..." Mr Cake said before returning to his work. "Alright AJ army! Onwards!" Pinkie exclaimed. As they made their way across town and into Sweet Apple Acres they passed by a bewildered Caramel. “What the?” Carmel exclaimed. “Nothin ta see here,” Twilight said. “Uh… sure,” Caramel said taking his leave. As the six AJ’s made their way into the farm they entered the farmhouse and saw Granny Smith, Big Mac and Apple Bloom who looked surprised. “Well, guess our turn came sooner than expected,” Granny said. “Ya’ll knew?” RD asked. “Course, AJ told us,” Apple Bloom said before running up to them “So… does this mean I have six sisters now?” Apple Bloom asked. “Just for the day,” Applejack said. “Woohoo!” AB cheered and then Granny approached. “Ah hope this means we’ll have lots of helpers on tha farm t’day,” Granny Smith said. “Yes Granny,” The six mares said in unison. “That was a tad freaky,” AB admitted. “Ah need help with this tractor,” Pinkie said, trying to start it. “Ah got it,” Rarity said as she walked behind it, bucked it, and the tractor started up. “Thanks!” Pinkie said and she drove off. “Meanwhile AJ and RD and Twilight were bucking the tree’s, usually Twilight would use her magic, but now that she’s AJ that seems improper. “Ah admit, it’s nice ta have some help,” AJ said. “Eeyup,” Big Mac said. As he pulled the cart along and Fluttershy was hovering over it and casting aside any bad apples. “Eenope… eenope…. Eenope….. Eeyup!” Fluttershy said liking being AJ. “All at once now!” AJ said and they all simultaneously bucked Big Johnny, the toughest and most plentiful tree in the orchard and all the apple’s fell like rain. “Yeehaw! Ain’t never got that many in from Johnny at once,” AJ cheered. “Yeehaw!” The others cheered as well and they helped gather the apples as well. “An…three!” AJ and her friends ran across the obstacle course together, because they all had Applejack mentality, they knew the course too but obviously Rarity and Twilight lagged behind. “Con…sarnit…” Rarity gasped rolling onto her back panting “New plan fer me… exercise….” Rarity panted. “Me too…” Twilight said. “Hah!” Fluttershy jumped over a haybale. “Woot!” Pinkie slid under a plank. “Not gonna cheat are ya Rainbow?” AJ panted as she ran. “Ah’m you, you tell me?” RD said. “Correct,” AJ smirked and they made it around the course and to their surprise Fluttershy won. “YEEHAW! How do ya like them apples?” Fluttershy said. “When… did ya get so fast?” Applejack asked tiredly. “In all honesty, ah let ya’ll win in the past, since ah’m nice,” Fluttershy smirked. “Oh yer on fer round two!” Pinkie said. AJ and Pinkie did an examination from where they were standing. “To tha left… too far… now go down… up a bit… a smidgen more,” AJ said. “Almost there!” Pinkie said. “How’s this?” Rainbow asked. “Ah getcha,” Fluttershy said as she adjusted her side. “Alright perfect!” Pinkie and Applejack said at the same time. And the other two joined them along with Rarity and Twilight. A new and improved sign for, Sweet Apple Acres. “Been meaning ta get that sign changed, just never had the time,” AJ said happily. “Well, we still got some animals ta feed,” Fluttershy offered. “Go right ahead, Rainbow, wanna come with and help me retrieve the celebration refreshments?” AJ said. “Hay yeah!” Rainbow said and they trotted off to the barn along with Fluttershy. A full day of chores and physical activity and the six were lounging and enjoying the night sky and some hard ciders. “Hoowee! This might be the first time we’ve gotten the barn raised in a long time, all the chores done all the animals cared for, even Big Mac is enjoyin some time to himself,” AJ said. “Well it comes down ta havin help as good as ya,” Twilight said. “Yeah, and we all had fun, right Rares?....Rares?” Pinkie looked to see Rarity looking all limp and exhausted. “Ah’m… not used to this…. Much physical…. Activity….” Rarity wheezed, looking like she was struggling to lift her glass of hard cider. “Hahaha, guess you should work out more often Rares,” RD chuckled. "Shut up..." Rarity sighed. “Well, ah guess we should turn in… Tomorrow another day, ah wanna say thanks again girls, ah really feel closer to ya,” AJ said. “No problem AJ,” They all said in unison. They all made their way into AJ’s bedroom, well all but Rarity who had to be carried in. “Well! Let’s get nappin, sure wish ah had you guys as me fer awhile longer,” AJ said. “Maybe another day,” RD said. “Alright,” AJ said as she got out the sleeping bags and they all went to sleep, to await their next adventure. Author's Note AJ's gotten all of her chores done and Rarity is not pleased she had to come along. XD Remaining ones:
Refined and classyApplejack was the first up, not surprising since she’s used to waking up early, she figured she could get ready before the next shift. As she made her way down the hall she felt the beginning tingles of the change. “Already? How come ah… have to endure such an uncomfortable sensation…. Every day? Oh dear… am I…ah turnin into Rares!?” Applejack ran into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. She saw her dirt-matted appearance and began to think of herself as unclean… so unrefined. “Ah dreaded this…” Applejack winced as the magic began to take hold and she grunted and doubled over holding her head. “No! Ah don’t wanna be… frou frou… girly… refined… glamorous…. Beautiful!” Applejack cried as her mane and tail began to reform into Rarities elegant style and her cutie mark became three diamonds. “NO!” Applejack cried before falling over. When she came too she saw at least four other Rarity-like ponies standing over her… oddly enough she felt at home with them now. “Oh dear, are you alright?” Rainbow asked. “Let’s get you off that floor darling,” Pinkie said and Applejack took their hooves. “I thank you darlings, and I must say your manes are simply enchanting,” Applejack said as she stood and dusted herself off. “Ah, thank you dear,” Fluttershy said, then they heard hoofsteps and turned to see Rarity entering and smiling at what she saw. “Well! This is nothing short of a dream come true! Come girls, let us bask in our refinement!” Rarity said. “Indeed!” They all cheered and they followed Rarity downstairs. As they made their way into the kitchen, Granny Smith saw them and sighed. “At least she ain’t doin this of her own free will,” Granny said, not wanting AJ to truly turn into Rarity. “Oh Granny Smith, you worry too much, I will not change too much from the pony I was… now who wants to get a hooficuuuuure!?” Applejack asked in a very Rarity-like way. “Yes!” The other Rarity’s cheered and they trotted out in a line. “AJ’s not stayin like that… right?” Apple Bloom asked. “Ah hope not,” Big Mac said. Rarity and the other Rarity’s were in the spa enjoying many of the benefits. Rainbow was actually letting somepony paint her hooves, Applejack was letting somepony fashion her mane, and Pinkie was making polite and calm conversation with Rarity over various topics. “This is a dream come true,” Rarity said as Bulk massaged her. “Agreed,” Fluttershy sighed happily. “Quite indeed, say Rarity, what do you say after we all get our manes braided we can head to the Boutique for a little artisanat de vêtements?” Twilight asked as she got a massage as well. “Oh how delightful!” Rarity cheered, today was going to be a good day. “I am so there,” Rainbow said. “Yay verily!” Pinkie cheered. As they entered the Boutique they all scattered and gathered supplies. “Now! I trust I don’t have to inform you all on how to do this?” Rarity asked with a knowing look. “Oh darling, need you even ask?” Applejack said. “Then let us make a new fashion line with the combination of six minds!” Rarity cheered. Over the course of the day the six mares toiled at the sewing machines and needlework. They were making almost more beautiful dresses than they knew what to do with. “How’s this? Too gauche?” Rarity asked Pinkie about the fabric she was using. “It’s marvelous,” Pinkie replied. “Simply magnifique,” Fluttershy chimed in. “Thank you,” Rarity said. “I beg your pardon, but does this hat match this dress?” Rainbow asked wearing a fur hat with a brown dress. “Mmmmh… I say no,” Twilight said with an astute nod. “Goodness, then I best switch hats,” Rainbow laughed with Twilight. After they were done the Boutique was positively bursting with clothing and they were then carrying out the clothes in piles. “I’ve wanted to do this for so long, build a hundred dresses and then donate them to those in need of my fashion taste,” Rarity said. “Ahem,” The others said. “Uh… our fashion taste!” Rarity corrected. They then delivered the dresses to the donation center and dropped them off. “Wow, I never saw that many dresses before… um… which charity?” The clerk asked. “Any and all, I would be remiss if I were to leave a single mare or stallion without an outfit to wear,” Rarity said. “Wow, that’s generous,” The stallion said and the six mares left the store. “This day has been simply splendid dears, thank you,” Rarity said. “Not a worry dear,” Rainbow replied. “Now what?” Pinkie asked. “I’m thinking…. Gem hunting!” Rarity said. “Then tally ho!” They cheered. They were in the gem caves an hour later and they were mining for various gems. “With all these extra hooves on deck getting a gem supply will be a cinch!” Rarity said before pulling a particularly big ruby out of the ground. “Ooooh! That’s a pretty and big one dear,” Fluttershy said. “Best examine it to make sure there are no faults,” Rarity said and they immediately surrounded it and began skimming it for any faults they needed to correct. “Looks surprisingly clean,” Pinkie said. “Then this will be a success!” Rarity said. “As much as I’d like to continue this scavenger hunt, I fear we should get moving before night time, I don’t wish to pass out here,” Twilight cautioned. “Sounds like a plan,” Rarity said and they went home. As they entered the Boutique they all went downstairs and collapsed on the bed. “Oh my… this has been quite a day, I got alot done thanks to you all,” Rarity said. “And I now understand what it means to be a classy mare, win-win,” Rainbow said. “Indeed, well, let us get ready for tomorrow,” Rarity said and they all drifted off. Author's Note I like to think that deep down they enjoyed it. Remaining ones:
A nice change of paceTwilight woke up in bed and looked at her friends, she knew the situation was almost over. But in a way it's given her a new perspective on her friends, feeling like them, being like them, helping them get their jobs done. It felt nice and so she decided to wake them up… maybe after they had enough sleep. “Oh what’s this?... I seem to be thinking about their needs more seriously then usual… I think I know who I’m becoming,” Twilight didn’t try to fight it and let the transformation take her over, and when the glow faded she looked like a Twilight version of Fluttershy. “I-I should go, perhaps breakfast?” Twilight said as she hovered over them quietly and she left the room. After sleeping for another hour the group woke and looked at each other and smiled. “W-well, nothing is wrong with being Fluttershy for a day,” Rainbow said shyly. “Indeed, let’s go and grab breakfast, if you all want to that is,” Rarity suggested. The others nodded and they trotted downstairs and found Twilight was way ahead of them. “Hello, dears, I was hoping to make you all some food, I-I hope you like it,” Twilight softly said. “We appreciate it dear,” Pinkie said and they all made their way to the table. Twilight had made plates of pancakes, and she even used the special seasoning Fluttershy uses for her pancakes. “Mmm! Tasty,” Fluttershy complimented. “Indeed,” Rarity said. “I want some blueberries if ya don’t mind,” Applejack said politely. “Here you are,” Fluttershy hoofed it to her. “After this, we should make our way to the cottage, Angel will probably get cranky without his morning salad,” Rainbow said. “Mhm,” Pinkie said. After breakfast the Shy’s trotted through town, the ponies having gotten used to their personality shifts. Fluttershy led the charge to her cottage, getting there they saw the poor state the cottage was in, Fluttershy being absent for several days will do that… “Well girls, let’s do this,” Fluttershy said excited to have some help for once. Instead of cheering they silently raised their hooves in approval. Instantly they got to work, Applejack mowed the lawn, making extra sure to avoid the daisies and small animals that could get hurt by the mower. “Whoo, careful dears!” AJ said alerting a few voles of her approach with the mower and they got out of the way. “Look out! I have rain!” Rainbow called to her fellow Shy’s and she brought a cloud over and made it rain on the plants to water them. “Haha! Fluttershy chuckled watching Pinkie simultaneously herding the chickens, rabbits, and mice all while riding Harry. “Come along darlings, we all need our daily exercise,” Pinkie said. Twilight was using her magic to rebuild several birdhouses at the same time and Rarity was fashioning nests for a snake. “It feels nice to have help,” Fluttershy said with a smile. The mane six were then helping Fluttershy repaint her house and clean up her interior. Dusting, sweeping, mopping, washing dishes and helping more inside animals with their needs. “I need a hoof, if anyone can,” Fluttershy said. “Ah got ya,” Applejack helped her lift the couch so she can get to it with her duster. “Thank you,” Fluttershy said. Angel looked pleased as he saw Fluttershy and her five copies fixing him up a salad. But when they brought it to him he saw it was missing a cherry… again… He kicked Fluttershy out. As he walked back dusting off his paws he bumped into an orange leg and looked up at a sight that nearly made him piddle himself. Five sets of eyes giving him the stare. “That wasn’t nice,” RD said. “Please go retrieve her,” Twilight said. “Or no dessert,” Rarity said. Angel stepped outside and retrieved Fluttershy from between a fence post and deposited her beside them. And the stare times five ended. “Thank you, girls, I never get the chance to discipline him,” Fluttershy said. “No problem Shy,” Twilight said. At night time the group sat around a campfire and told each other cute stories about their pets while braiding each other's manes. “I remember Gummy, that one time he wouldn’t stop staring at me until he got his belly rubs,” Pinkie chuckled. “Or that time Winoa chased a thrown ball into a haypile,” AJ giggled. "I got one, Owlicious was sleep flying and thought Spike was a snack," Twilight giggled. “Oh pets, we love them!” They all squeed and laughed. As they made their way to bed, Fluttershy broke the news to Twilight. “There’s only one more day to this, right?” Fluttershy asked. “Yes, I believe it is my turn, I look forward to it, n-not that today wasn’t fun,” Twilight said. “I appreciate all the help, all the animals and chores are taken care of for once,” Fluttershy giggled. After that, they all drifted off to a dreamless sleep. Author's Note One more...right?
Being smart about this [+ a surprise]Rainbow Dash woke up first and found she was thirsty. She decided to go downstairs and fetch herself some water, as she got to the sink and poured herself some water she noticed a book on the counter… and oddly enough, she was interested. She approached the book and saw it was a guide to exotic animal care. “Interesting, I have nothing more to do until the others wake up,” Rainbow Dash said before picking the book up and trotting over to a chair. As she read she didn’t notice her mane becoming Twilight’s mane-cut and her cutie mark shifting. “And in conclusion, one should never overfeed a Capybara… fascinating!” Rainbow said enthusiastically even as her fellow book friends came downstairs. “Hmm? Hello everypony,” Rainbow said. “Hello, I see you’ve located my book on exotic animal care,” Fluttershy said. “Yes, it was quite fascinating,” Rainbow said. “This is my dream come true,” Twilight said not noticing Spike in the background collecting books and going upstairs. The next few hours were spent reading books and chatting about them. Twilight then decided to gather some spell books and science materials and they went down to the basement to practice them with Rarity, they were performing an experiment that Twilight always wanted Rarity to help her with, but she was always too busy…. “Alright, vector three, to pilon four?” Twilight said. “Nonono, vector four, to pilion three, we must make the correct balance between magic and science,” Rarity said. “Good point, oh if Sunset could see us now,” Twilight said as she lowered the mini pylon onto the table carefully so as to not disrupt the experiment. Nearby, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were having a pretty even keel chess match. “Nice move with your bishop, too bad you left your knight wide open!” Fluttershy knocked over Rainbow’s knight with her pawn. “Curses!” Rainbow said. And Pinkie and Applejack were running an experiment of their own where they try multiple forms of compatible acid in the same beaker, to make a super acid! “Alright, two-thirds acidic tree sap, cobbled with one-seventh toad poison, a bottle of water, ionized dragon sulfur, and leaping lizard venom, mixed with four third hydra venom,” Pinkie said. “Ah hope this doesn’t blow up or create a toxic gas…” AJ said. “No problem, stand back! I’m about to do science!” Pinkie said before pouring the rest into a pan with a titanium ingot in it… and it melted right through “Eureka!” Pinkie cheered. “Ah can’t help but think you’d do this even if you weren’t brainwashed into being Twilight right now,” AJ said removing her goggles. “Totally, in fact, I did it last week,” Pinkie said. After that, they went to quills and sofas with Twilight and they gathered enough supplies to last. They went back and began writing a long document on this adventure, each on their own. “And in conclusion, we all feel a bit closer together like this, love Twilight and friends,” Twilight read out “Ok girls, sharing time,” Twilight and the others then passed their research around and found they had made fewer mistakes and had written in a similar font as the original. “I like having sisters,” Twilight said before looking around for Spike “Spike! We need you to send these! Where are you?” Twilight called but when he didn’t appear she decided to just send it tomorrow when things are less hectic. Afterwards, they gathered in Twilight’s bedroom as the final night came to a close. “I had so much fun girls… it isn’t every day one gets a bunch of like-minded ponies to work with,” Twilight said happily. “We’re glad to have been of service Twilight,” Rarity said and the rest hummed in agreement. “Goodnight,” Twilight said before she went to sleep. The next day From Twilight’s view, she exited her bed. “Whew, it’s finally over, now we can return to life as norm- ooof!” Twilight grunted as she hit the ground. “Odd… why is everything bigger?” Twilight asked before looking to see everypony sleeping in their bags and not wanting to disturb them Twilight crept around them… somehow not noticing her bipedal gait. She made her way into the bathroom and saw that the counter was higher than usual. “This is so weird… did something happen?” Twilight flapped her wings to get higher…. And moments later when she saw her reflection a higher-pitched scream rang through the castle. Spike woke up with a groan… it’s been a weird week, repeated blackouts, and extended naps, he’s beginning to wonder if he’s coming down with something. As Spike made his way to the downstairs and he entered the kitchen he heard crunching noises. “Hey guys… I’ve been sleeping weird lately, so can I- HUH?!” Spike exclaimed when he saw six other baby dragons sitting in chairs eating gemstone cereal. “Hey dude!” Rainbow said. “How’s it going?” Rarity said in a non-lady-like tone. “Mmm, I love gemstones,” Pinkie said. “Hey, the toy in the box is mine!” RD yelled as Applejack snatched it. “Eenope!” AJ said with a giggle. “Hey Spike… I suppose you were affected by the spell too… and I guess this is what happens when the spell affects another species…” Twilight said. “...Uh… what spell?” Spike asked. “Never mind, but that’s not all it did…” Twilight sighed. “What?” Spike asked. “....We kinda have-” Twilight leaned in and whispered in Spike’s ear. “........WHAT THE-” FIN Author's Note If you all want a Spike chapter, give me a
Spike's fun day [+another surprise]Spike sat at the fireplace and watched the now kiddish scale six tossing a ball around. “So… you’re all boy dragons now, so… what do we do?” Spike said. “Whatever you want to do, it’s your day I guess,” Twilight shrugged. “I’ve… always wanted that,” Spike said with an eager grin. “And now that we’re dragons, which is cool btw, we can do anything a dragon can do!” Pinkie cheered. “YEAH!” The seven baby dragons cheered. Spike walked into a gem cave that he and Rarity usually visit. “One thing I love to do is visit here on my own and snag a ton of gems for later consumption, with six extra hands, that’ll be a big grab,” Spike said. “YEAH!” The six baby dragons cheered. “Let’s get digging!” Spike said. It showed the seven baby drakes digging around the cave, carrying loads of crystals to form a pile. “Oooh pretty!” Rarity said as he ate it. “Don’t eat the merch yet!” Spike said. “Cannonball!” Pinkie and Rainbow jumped off the bigger pile and into a smaller pile of gems. “Ugh, is this what I’d be like if I acted my age?” Spike wondered. Twilight dug in the dirt before finding a big gem. “Guys! I found a big one!” Twilight said. “Alright!” The other baby dragons ran to him and helped him grab the other side of it and they pulled and pulled and pulled until it came out and they found the biggest ruby ever! “Whoa!” They all said. “Yummy!” Pinkie said jumping on it and spinning around the gem eating it rapidly. “Pinkie!” They shouted in exasperation as he laid on the ground with a full tummy and burped. “Worth it!” Pinkie said. Next up they went to a discount store back in Ponyville. As they ran around trying on the discounted outfits and running around having fun and making a big mess. “Ugh… kids…” The upset store clerk said. Next it showed them arriving at a waterpark. “I’ve always wanted to go to this waterpark, but soooompony was always too busy,” Spike not so subtly hinted to Twilight. “I get I get it,” Twilight rolled his eyes. “Party time!” Pinkie cheered and they all ran out into the waterpark. It showed Pinkie and AJ sliding down a waterslide too fast and they wound up skipping on the water a few times before splashing down. “Look out below!” Rainbow stood on the lifeguard's tower. “Hey! Get down from there!” A pony shouted. “Make me!” Rainbow said before he jumped into the water splashing the lifeguard. Twilight and Fluttershy merely sunbathed while Spike ran by carrying a beach ball. The sun was nearing the epicenter of the sky and Spike led his friends on their next adventure. “Next up, reenactment time!” Spike said. Spike jumped up on a pillow fort. “Hahaha! Let them go Mane-iac! Or face a power pony pummeling from Humdrum!” Spike declared. Looking over at the scene Twilight was dressed as Maneiac and the others tied up, with Matter Horn just being a plushie. “Bring it on Humdrum! When my mondo fusion reactor bursts it’ll cover the whole city in toxic waste!” Twilight said playfully. “Bring it!” Spike said and he jumped at Twilight and had a playfight. “...Next time… I’m choosing who plays who…” Rainbow grumped. Spike and the others went to bed afterward and climbed into a big bed together. “Whew… what a day, I got to do everything I wanted to do, and with you guys too,” Spike said happily. “No problem Spike, you deserve a you day,” Twilight said as they all fell asleep. “Yeah, Gnight,” Spike said. Waking up the next day Spike found himself in the same bed as six mares and remembering Rarity was next to him he scooted into her embrace and sighed happily returning to sleep. … before a colorful explosion occurred sending him flying. “AAAH!” Spike yelped as he hit the ground and he looked at the now destroyed bed… and saw a shocking sight. Zecora was going to make her daily trip out to the Everfree for supplies when she heard a polite knock on her door. “Coming,” Zecora said. Then suddenly the knocking got intense. “I said I am coming I am warning, don’t destroy my door, not this early in the morning,” Zecora said speed trotting to the door and opening it… and she widened her eyes. “What happened to us?!” A rainbow-colored Twilight demanded. “My rainbow colors! They're gone!” Rainbow complained, now having Pinkie Pies pink. “I kinda like it,” Pinkie said being purple and green. “I don’t!” Spike said being pink and yellow. Applejack was now purple and white and Rarity sobbing as she was blonde and orange. Fluttershy was now purple and pink and a lighter purple, like Twilight. And then suddenly they changed colors. “Oh dear! I didn’t think this would occur, now you are all changing colors both scales and fur!” Zecora exclaimed. “Why?!” Rainbow asked now green and purple. “One of you must have had an allergic reaction, one that triggered a shift in the magic affecting your faction,” Zecora said. “So… one of us had a reaction to the magic which distorted it and made it go haywire?!” Twilight exclaimed. “Yes,” Zecora said. “Who?” a now white and purple Fluttershy asked. “Are any of you allergic to bals root?” Zecora asked. “No,” They all responded. “Black tubers?” Zecora asked. “No,” They all responded. “Possum fur?” Zecora asked “No,” They all responded. “Cinnamon?” Zecora asked. “No,” They all responded… before Rainbow paused and then paled “Oh wait… a little…” Rainbow said embarrassedly. “Rainbow!” The others said. “Hey! Not my fault!” Rainbow said. ‘How do we fix this?” Twilight asked now yellow and pink. “...You might not like hearing it but I need to get the brew fire lit,” Zecora said going back inside and lighting the fire beneath the brew. “Why? What does this have to do with fixin this?” a pink Applejack asked. “I have a second method, my crew, I will simply need to rebuild the original brew, there will be no need to panic or run for this time I will exclude the cinnamon,” Zecora said. “...Zecora… you're not saying what I think you’re saying… are you?” A now White and purple Twilight said fearfully. “To act as an antidote, I must use these, and through another week, you will evidently…. Once more switch personalities…” Zecora said. The whole group passed out, except Spike who just shrugged “Here we go again…” Spike sighed. Author's Note "Uh oh, guess they gotta endure another week And there we go! A pleasing finale to a great shorter story of mine. I hope you all enjoyed it.
